*
One path we walk along.
We come to a cliff looking down to a flowing river.
We jump hand in hand and land in the water,
Coming to the surface sputtering and laughing
At our good fortune
Before we notice the waterfall.
Then we swim against the current
Trying to stop the forces of nature
And to reverse the hands of time.
But we are only human
And gravity is our master.
We are forced to accept our fate
As we are pushed over the edge
By the currents we have chosen.
We close our eyes.
We hold hands.
And land
In a pool of clear blue water.
