Mementos From a Hidden Waterfall
Closing my eyes
I bring back the vision
Of a hidden waterfall
A breathtaking sight
Of water cascading
Over stubborn rock
And other things.
Over time
Rocks and boulders,
And everything else
Lodged in the river,
Will give way
To rushing water
Charging ahead
In its relentless flow
Downriver.
Of all things
On Earth
I think
Water will outlast
The possessions
We feel are important
The toys
The gadgets
The rockets to the moon
And all things human.
