Waterfall on the Wall

Waterfall on the Wall 

Dr Abe V Rotor

Aluna Paula 3, and Judelynne 13, play before a wall mural 

painted by the author, San Vicente, Ilocos Sur,  2023

Flow from the hills,

play on the rivulets,

laugh with the brook,

feed the river,

make it full and strong and swell,

mirror the land and sky

before you burst into waterfall.

Delight a wide-eyed child,

make her afraid that she'll be brave,

awed to gain respect,

mystified to explore and learn,

subdued to be determined.

Flow, flow forever in her mind;

throb, throb in her heart

with the thunder of love,

the whisper of humility,

and into her soul,

fill the fount of eternity. ~

“There is a waterfall in every dream. Cool and crystal clear, it falls gently...

cleansing the mind and soothing the soul.” ― Virginia Alison
