I Am a Waterfall

Dancing,

Thrashing,

Cascading

 

Down the barren stone tower,

Through the craggy, coarse cliffs

Refining, polishing the necessary features

And streaming for the duration of my adventure,

One might wonder: Why?

 

Why! Oh what a question—

To purify what will soon be soiled in a moment’s time,

And yet, unremittingly,

Over, ad nauseam, again.

 

I cannot die.

No agony or desolation can destroy me.

Amaranthine, ceaseless, everlasting!

I hold steadfast, staunch, unrelenting.

 

I am a waterfall.

Nought can destroy me.

I am forever...
