Waterfall for #oneshotwednesday


Cascades of liquid resonance,
Washing over solidarity.
Erosion of fury,
Stripping away
The prudential resolve
Of assurance

Pressing
Again, and again,
Into the softness of wanting Earth
In surrender

Union of substance
Fluidity unsubstantial
The pouring of fleshly inclinations
From the soul to the ground
And they find course there

Fleeting moments of fluid touches
Seared into the mind
In absence they exist
Impermeably

Necessary touches
Powerfully brief
Takes away with it
Marrow of soul and sand

Forever altered
By the pounding
Composition decomposing
While men lie watching
The water falling
