Falling Waters The sound of falling waters from the stream Cascading down in torrents crystalline Unlike the silence of a tear upon the cheek So turbulent, the waters of the creek Gushing with such violence and force Between the granite rocks they find their course Unlike the pathway of a teardrop from the eye Or a raindrop tumbling downward from the sky The glassy waters roar in ecstasy And flow in diamond brilliance endlessly Unlike my heart that plunged in silent pain Intense are swollen waters from the rain Falling waters, ever tumbling , ever pure Descending from the heights forever more Spilling out the laden rim of sorrow’s cup The diamond brilliance of a tear won’t interrupt The falling waters, crystal waters from above Unlike a teardrop rising out of love A tender path across a silent cheek So gently falls as I sit by the creek So mesmerizing is the sound and sight Of falling waters on a lovely moonlit night Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 10-08-2000).] |

Beauty mixed with torn emotion...WOW..only you could mix them together so well and make it sound so sweet. Care for a moonlight swim? You alredy know I love it but I will say it anyway. I LOVE IT....your writing is so exquisite ALL THE TIME. I don't believe I ever read a piece of yours that wasn't. |

I had to read this twice, such beauty  Sometimes you have to let go and move on, But never let go of the memories. |

Maesha, Thank you for reading Charisma, Thanks for reading several times Mark, THank you for your kind comments. For your information, I've got a lot of really bad poems that I wrote in a file called "other". I could show you how really bad it can be. But thanks , sweet Mark. Sy, I'm not really crying. "It's just a poem" But thank you for caring Maria, Thank you so much Liz |
