Waterfall

Waterfall, I recall

You were born inside a raindrop

When the drop slipped out

Of an orchid's mouth

You were much too small to tumble

You could neither roar nor rumble

Not a cymbal crash, you could barely splash

Over little stones you stumbled

Then begins the slow connection

In some H2O affection

Very serpentine

How your parts combine

And agree on one direction

Iguazu, is it true

You were once an April shower?

A few crystal beads

On a bamboo reed?

Do you still believe you're strongest?

That your river runs the longest?

Wait till you release

In a sea of peace

With the love you longed for longest
