BISHOP FALLON
WATERFALL
(poetryrepairshop 99.11:131)
______ Peek through the haze, I realize
Where I am, here, now...
The water falls gently,
Ending long journey.
Once a calm puddle
Wrenched from comfortable home
Forward, picking up speed
To plung to depths unrealized
To the rocks below.
Nature throws itself around
The green feeling; comfortable
Stars in the sky.

And the rose speaks,
Amidst the resplendant sight,
Of past and present
And future,
Of pain unbearable
And broken wings mending.
What secrets lie hidden here?
What force exists in wait?
What motivation moves waters
From comfortable home
To depths unrealized
To the rocks below...

And like the waterfall, I speak
Pouring out everything
Of past and present
And future,
Ripped from comfortable home
To worlds unrealized
To the fall again,
Gently pick up speed
And crash into a thousand pieces
To the rocks below...

Opposites, yet
Two of a kind, we were.
Tattered and beaten,
Unforgettable loss,
And only time to pave the way
Under the tapestry of stars
In the glow of passing planes
Outlined by the solitary moon.

Two hearts, reviving
Side by side, to the whisper 
Of falling rain.
