Dry Waterfall in acrylic by the author

Drip, drip, drip, like tears,

too far out to meet the sea,

in dirge of a dying waterfall

once proud and full and free.

Drip, drip, drip, like rain,

too little to quench the land,

to make the fields green and alive,

and dewdrops to greet the sun.

Drip, drip, drip, the pipes run dry,

no longer music in the park;

behind white walls and rooftops,

and some forgotten arch. ~
