She started life, a small droplet
Sweat off a cold glacier,
Warmed by the summer sun
Joined by another, and another and soon she was
A gurgling stream, that flowed through a steep mountain
As she became older, and jumped over the precipice
A waterfall was she, capturing rainbows with her youth!
This youthful maidens’ bustle
Soon was a young river, flowing graciously
Through ever widening banks
She knew she was going somewhere
To meet someone special, but who was he
She did not know
She had traveled far, and felt tired, alone
But felt a change coming, how soon was unknown
As she flowed past, a large flat plain
She could sense a change in the air
A quickening of pace, and a new sensation grew from there
The sun grew warmer, the trees more green
And the blue over the horizon felt more intense
She could hear a distant rhythm calling to her soul
But what it was, she really did not know
Soon the rocks turned to sand,
And wait, her sweet water changed taste
There was just a finger of land left
Was this heavens gate?
Lo behold! Who was this
Magnificent, salty, blue,
Was this ‘him’ she thought
As she peacefully poured into
The waiting heart of the mighty sea
