Looking for the mysterious water
fall
I climb this arduous mountain slope
Footsteps from the past
Left behind now as a trail
Lead me on!
One step at time!
Through overgrown greenery
Pushing away the thorns and bushes
I keep walking!
How long this journey will last
I do not know!
High above, the sun shines
bright!
But down here, it is still cold and
dim
Little bit of sunlight trickles here
But still life below blossoms
The stream I first started with
Once meandering in the plains below
Is foamy and turbulent here, up in
the rapids
The water fall must be near! I think!
I can hear the water roaring
Yet, I see no waterfall!
The slope is steeper now
The climb is more difficult
Through moss and ferns
I keep moving on
Tripping and slipping
Pulling myself up every time!
I must find the waterfall! I think!
The stream is only a trickle now
Its rumbling silenced by my
desperate thoughts
Converging and betraying
Sadly now!
It is the beginning of the stream!
End of my journey!
No waterfall in between!
Its sunset soon
I have scaled the mighty peak
But the waterfall I sought
No where?
As I sit in silent desolation
The floating white clouds make
me wonder
In seeking for the waterfall, found only in my
mind
Did I forget to relish the stream
of Life?
