Unending Fall

[Originally, this was titled "A Cascading Descend". This is an edited version. Hope you will like it.]

Never observed beforehand
cascading stairs of time
flowing without end.

Never accepted
water may smoothen resilient rocks,
till I witnessed the unending fall.

Looked like a bereaved widow,
weeping inconsolably.

Streams descend,
resembling her unruly stresses;
vigorous undulations
propagate in frenzied agony.

She laments,
he used to raft in her waters only.

Unknowingly, she had remained deaf
to his parting moan,
whilst her very waves had buried him.

She drones,
struggling to calm herself.

Nonetheless, Sun shines on her, daily.

On a sudden, I came across
a beamy rainbow
upon her lap.

Never knew
gleams conceal
so much of moans inside.
