There’s a lot of power in the water that flows on this planet of ours. Like the sun .. but a lot cooler.. it is a bringer of both life and destruction….
Angel Falls (Recalls) by Michael Romani Angel Falls like an echo of time recalls Down over the steep ledge and along the walls Clear, crisp and beautifully warm Rolling down with the thunder of a storm The force present shows its awesome power Beautifully dangerous in its every hour Persistently, consistently, rock is worn down Crumbling away never again to be found The pageantry flows as destroyer of mountain rock Surely, it's true that it must come as no shock Until finally it melts forming islands in the sky Taken in by those like with me with our soul's cry It seems that the earth itself begins to speak Looking down from the tall mountain's peak Flowing and mixing in its special sort of chemistry Pouring out as the bearer of life's best mystery Stardust into life warmed through with some heat With the spark and added water that begs and entreats Until with that jolt of kinetic, electric energy The magic is worked and becomes the storm's synergy Dynamically crackling in a flow of nonstop lightning The bolts criss-cross in the sky fierce and frightening As it ignites with its sheer coursing surge of power Present in our newborn Earth's moments of every hour Early Earth semi-floating in its primordial soup Was constantly charged in a self feeding loop Mixing and blending all of the organic material Into systems of life that seem complexly ethereal We have learned that life started in the ocean Mixed with hydrothermal heat's bursts of commotion One element serves as the back bone of all of life Though now it turns up mostly in death's last strife Death like life is a part of the cycle around Full of mysteries to be sought after and found Much of which is found in the flow of water To understand the complexity of life look no farther (c) August 17, 2019 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
