Cascade

Cascade

A bubbling spring tenderly,
laps its virgins of watered 
life-giving sources,

Reluctantly release its
loving hold through
gravitational forces,

Full of life's vigor enriches
the quietude induced
to full measure,

To utter complete abandon
surrender its innocence
to elegant pleasure,

Outpours its fresh domain
in cascading affluents
of absolute grandeur,

Alighting receptive hearts
in droplet sprays of grace
quenching the amour.
