Twin Waterfalls According to a Child Artist

Twin Waterfalls by a 6-year old art workshop participant 2017

When was the last time I visited a waterfall?

Yes, it was a twin waterfalls in Pagudpud 

near the boundary of Ilocos Norte and Cagayan.

Parallel to each other and separated, the falls 

were indeed a twin in height and volume, 

Cascading down a ravine, plunging into the sea below, 

beneath a massive aqueduct on which I stood. 

Thus I could see only the main view of the twin falls;

beneath I simply imagined the view through the mist, 

Their waters flowing out into the Babuyan Channel,

round the horn of Luzon, and nothing more. 

To a child artist, a twin waterfall is whole and one,

with neither beginning nor end, sky, land, sea

Make a puzzle grownups will never understand;

frankly I don't and perhaps never will,

Unless I am born to be a child again and see

the world in reality and fantasy combined,

Where innocence and joy and imagination 

are more powerful than logic and reason.

Where abstract art in its purest and original form 

is born, such as this twin waterfalls. ~
