I waited thee thro a lifetime of years,
Till now when camest, your beauty was blind.
Tis written, He that seeketh, he shall find,
Hidden, I have found thy next, in all they spheres,
By my citys river, a voice no man hears
Save from the Hunger unknown but well divined:
From the Mississippi behind hidden wind
Like a blue star your eyes flow thro many tears!
Thou art the silence, the citys soul; thou
The beauty of things, unseen upon my brow.
O likened to Civil War walls, once dreamed
And winter found perfect! Cup of mystery
Upon your stones forgotten suns have gleamed,
Whose waters are waters from unseen streams!
St. Paul, MN #1044 12/27/05. Note: I woke up this morning, and thought about my Christmas, in which I took my lovely wife down to Hidden Fall; being a St. Paul-lite, I had never seen the falls, faintly remember hearing about it. And took a three day search to find where it was, and as I ha ve said, found it on Christmas Day, a most beautiful hidden falls along the Mississippi in St. Paul, Minnesota. Back at the Caf bookstore, I go to daily, my brother showed up the following day, and after describing the falls, he being an International Photographer, sought its whereabouts out also. It is funny, Ive lived here most of my life, was born her, and I doubt I will die here, but I didnt even know where the most beautiful falls in St. Paul was. We do have Minnehaha Falls, but that is across the river and is in Minneapolis, not St. Paul. So those coming to St. Paul for a visit, it would be worth your time to see this (what I call) Civil War treasure.
