Trickling By Poem by Phil Soar

I lay beside the waterfall and listened as the water trickled by
I heard no sound for miles around, just water as it trickled by
And then the silence broken by a splash as water trickled by
I wondered what had happened and the water just kept trickling by
The stone had hit me on the head, as water just kept trickling by
And I'd fallen in the pool below, as water kept on trickling by
The muffled noise was tempered by the water keeping trickling by
And as I lay there drowning, all the water kept on trickling by
With my last breath I heard no sound, as water kept on trickling by
And as the pool engulfed me all the water kept on trickling by
The wildlife returned to the pool from where the water trickled by
And life returned to a murky pool, and yet for me, it trickled by
