By The Waterfall

                                 I am at one with the waterfall,clear waters sloping.
                                                       I sit atop the rocks of it
                                                           waiting,hoping........
                              All the faith I have moves like the clearest streams run.
                                     My doubt is cast out as I greet forth the sun.

                                 The mountains ahead feels my soul looking on.
                                         They have welcomed each moonlight......
                                                 never missed once,the dawn.
                                                     They replinish my spirit,
                                                  They abound in skies blue,
                                                 They uplift the hearts beating,
                                                  Just as bold mountains do.

                                                       Do I need not a world
                                                 To possess all these things?
                                                   It's to ask without thought.....
                                                 Does an angel need wings?

                                                     So,if mortals be worthy,
                                                 should they seek hope at all,
                                                 They will surely find answers
                                                       By the calm waterfall.

Being at one

Being at one with yourself, and all things, is such a lovely feeling, and I only wish it could be shared, It is however a thing that you find within yourself, and by the way you behave and influence others is the sharing part but they can be taught to find their own Waterfall. I rarely say about writing of poems but this one is really Beautiful so I will. I am (AT)one by (WITH) the waterfall,clear waters sloping,-- Just to lose the (by) will sound and feel better. They replinish my----Just a small spelling here. Yours, Ian.T

Very moving

Loved the whole imagery. Does an angel need wings? Of course we do... how else would we fly...:)

Well noted........

Angels,no doubt,have wings.But the reason that i put that line in was to say that the notion of our not having all the beautiful waterfalls in this world is like saying that an angel doesnt need to fly.Everything has purpose,even if the purpose is not so incredible,or profound.Thank you for the comment.Im glad you liked it.
