Come said the woman,
To the statue who stood by the falls.
"Come great statue, come with me."
"For the falls are flooding and soon they will take you too."
The statue looked down upon the woman,
Then silently shook his head.
And though she pleaded for him to leave,
The statue remained, arms spread to embrace the flood.
"I will stay with this place through dawn and dusk. For there is nowhere else in the world that I can call home as long as it's memory lives in my head."
