Waterfall
The water pivots
one moment serene
being pulled
from the space above
then pivots
into freefall
like thousands of its friends
all launching themselves
from the safety of the plane
to the freedom of the air
as they skydive down
to their next adventure
tumbling as they land
not on hard earth
but into the pool below
tossed under the surface
then floating serenely on
until pulled once more
