Pieces Above The Waterfall Poem by Anthony Han

Just let me move
Steady at this pace
Life is too much to take
All in at once

Friends have flown like eagles ahead
Some snail behind
Everyone has their own speed
To take them where they need

Rivers overflowing across waterfalls
Tears as fast as the rainfalls
Each drip containing downfalls
Of worries no one recalls

Because we that are left
Are moving against the downstream
Far away from the end
Always hoping for a new beginning

Where love is everywhere
From here to the shores
With streets lined of people near
Would be a most wondrous year

What exactly are my tasks?
I reflect them straight from the flask
Why do you wear such a mask?
Of questions from your doubts

When was life so heavy?
Full of puzzles and riddles
What happens when we drop?
All the masquerades about

Will it not be easier?
Could the weather not speak?
As if parent to child
That love is everywhere we listen

Peace with ourselves across the premier
Pieces of us we must track
Upon to get treasures
That only yourself can retrieve

Trying to read
What it is that it means
To be calm inside
With everything in this world
