The Cascade of Change

It’s coming! And heedlessly,
We flow onwards, oblivious
To the danger, to the separation, to the opportunity!
Of a deadly Cascade!

It comes suddenly….
A rush… …of confusion, fear, despair, …of adrenaline, excitement, potential,
And our unions – break. I fall… I fall…
And we will, all fall!

No longer contained within…now…just,
One. One of a Million droplets! But…
Free! Alone.
In a Cascade!

The fall seems everlasting…and,
It’s Lonesome. Liberating!
Despairing. Refreshing.
The Ending. The Beginning!

All cascades conclude, in some way. I crash, into…
…Cold, icy, clouded currents,
Alone. From empty, despondent oceans,
I see others,

We’re falling into Warm, Welcoming Waters,
From the same, Different Cascade!
