Waterfall

BY WATER BEGAN
THE SIFTING DOWN FOR EONS OF THE SILT
OF DYING CREATURES AND THE LAND
TRANSFORMED BY HEAT AND PRESSURE INTO STONE
BY UPHEAVAL THRUST TO MOUNTAIN FORM
THEN DOWN THE WATERS RAN
CUTTING THROUGH MOUNTAIN
THROUGH STONE
WILDLY THE WATERS RUN
TO DROP OFF A CLIFF AND PLUNGE INTO A POOL
TO PASS A BILLION YEARS OF STONE WITHIN ITS PLUNGE
RACING RUNNING SWIRLING FROTHING
LIVING WATER CUP OF STONE
