Waterfall of our Dreams

Waterfall of our Dreams

"That was many years ago by this fall of our dream,

away from the maddening crowd and Midas' lure;

homing takes us back to where it was once before,

her replica on a wall gleaming full and pure." - avr

Wall mural and Poem by Dr Abe V Rotor

A make-believe re-enactment of sweet memories by a waterfall 

at author's residence, San Vicente, Ilocos Sur. 

That was many, many years ago by a waterfall,

hundreds and hundreds of miles away from home,

when time was patient, adventure waiting beyond,

deafening roar settling down in cloud and foam. 

Quiet and calm the fall but it was just beginning

her trek down the river onto the wide, wide sea;

how we followed her in dreams and lofty thoughts,

taking us far and wide that no eye could see.

Career and family, travel and company we sought,

like the waterfall roaring in search for the sea,

dying all along her way on fields and meadows,

giving life to every nook and the community. 

    

That was many years ago by this fall of our dream,

away from the maddening crowd and Midas' lure;

homing takes us back to where it was once before,

her replica on a wall gleaming full and pure. ~
