Falling Water

I am climbing
A solitary path
Into a pass within
The clouds

Sheer abyss drops
on either side.

No turning back
Or moving sideways

Only slowly forward

Picking my way

By moonlight.

I can hear the
Powerful promise

Of a waterfall ahead
A force that can fill me
And move me.

I cannot fall
While I focus on
this one moment

In this second

I am okay.
