Shower of Salvation

The thunderous sound beckons me
As I come upon a mighty flow of water.
Struck silent by the awesome power
That carves its way through relentless rock.
Water crashes to the rocks below,
Covering me in a spray of glistening diamonds.
The potent spirit of the gushing cascade
Pulls at some thirsty portion of my soul,
Offering cleansing and refreshment,
To a weary traveler far from home.
I run into the fury of the water
Welcoming its purifying streams
As they surge over my tired body.
Tears of joy join with rivulets of water
Streaming down my tranquil face
As I watch years of pain and sorrow
Swirling further and further away.
I step from the crystal water
Feeling renewed and transformed.
The roaring fades slowly away
As I continue along a narrow path
Yet the resonant rushing of the waterfall
Still echoes in the beat of my heart.
