Somewhere where the waters fall endlessly,
hitting the rocks loudly,
the beauty does not ask for silence.
It crashes its truth against the rocks,
unafraid of breaking the stillness to be heard.
Mist rises against the soft cracks of water,
cool on the skin, fleeting as breath.
Sunlight catches in a thousand fragments,
turning the mundane into raw beauty,
the leaves bloom and the sands glisten.
The rocks below remember every fall,
Yet they remain, shaped but not ruined,
like a real intersection of purpose,
teaching the waters how to endure by letting go.
Stand there long enough
and you learn this quiet lesson
from all that noise
while patience, tolerance, perseverance and grit push through
you realize falls can be beautiful,
they do not have to be hurtful,
they do not always break,
they also create,
and sometimes the loudest falling
is simply life insisting on becoming.
