little falls sound like big falls

little falls sound like big falls
natural falls sound like artificial
mountain falls like falls from a skyscraper
steppe falls or one long swoosh
falls into the sea like a river or stream
the bigger they are
the harder they fall, it seems
larger falls more thunderous
lowly flows over rocks and vines
irrigate more softly
the land not washed in time
rice paddy water lingers
sustenance grows 
let it flow through me
whichever way i may go
without looking upstream 
without looking down
whether airborne showers
or underground
 let me not be stagnant 
evaporated, molten
 let me not be wasted moisture
frozen frozen
