You used to say
you wanted to be a like a river,
but you were not like that.
A river has resolve;
a river has a source,
has a destination.
You used to say
you wanted to be like snow,
but could not be.
Snow seeks ground,
collects itself,
is malleable.
You used to say
you wanted to be like music,
but that was not true.
Music has cadence,
has point and counterpoint,
has meaning.
You used to say
you wanted to be like me,
and you are.
When we are together
we are like
the music of snow on the river.
