Dear Waterfall

12/12/2022

0 Comments

 
Querida Cascada,      

I came here to be like you 
full of passion, gushing my
adoring eyes and heart onto
souls 

and the soil

You spill with poetic power onto 
bare and eager human shoulders 
as the sand swallows your lustful 
generous 
embrace

You move rock over the years
carving its resistance to Love
one drop of water at a time
I am like you
carving light into 
cracks in the human heart
so maddeningly in love with humanity
it is worth all the seeming rejection 
I could pretend is personal

Instead I choose to gush and be
intoxicated
as the seashells in the 
eyes of willing ones 
glow their oceanic light into mine

How dare she take up so much space?
You claim yours
I claim mine too
I came here to be
like you


I came here to
be
like you
​
You aren’t always wet

there’s fire in the
veins of your pour

Sunlight dines and dances 
on your skin

I watch your way of loving
how you pause
patient
letting the sand
ready itself again 

to receive your 
waterine
wonder

Cascada, you enchant me
ever fresh in your liquid affection
showing us new ways 
to be held 
and felt 
and to 
fall
