Children Of The Falls

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

Of what waterfalls are made of

Children Of The Waterfalls



Undulating are the clouds of Winter Fall


Rolled over paths meandering in secret


In a whisper, snow weaves through the timber


Nameless as the rain as they remain a mystery


To settle where they may as gentle




There on the lake shaped like a mirror clear


One swan looks up to heaven and her sun


Somehow smaller as the day is now undone


At a distance so cumbersome


Light hardly reaches us by Summer




Why is the sky so full of clouds in thickness


Why are they heavy in their weight in gray


Disguised as iron hanging over mountain tops


Are they not supposed to float on ocean shores


Blinding ships in fog, to lead them into danger waters


Into jagged rocks without a thought of kindness




There on the morning rise comes light


Snow melts away half frightened of the day


Though waterfalls are born from them they blush


You could say that snow becomes their children


Cascading over rocks into their innocence at play

Melting snow, turning into waterfalls, how lovely is that imagery Earl. For some reason you reminded me of spring in Switzerland when the glaciers start to melt. You paint with words here. I saw the Swan on the lake, so graceful and majestic. Thank you for the read and all good wishes to you.

The description here is wonderful. Your choice of words are amazing and the overall message is well passed.
Can their be a waterfall without a source? That's the question you piece just answered in a perfect way.
