You used to say <br />you wanted to be a like a river, <br />but you were not like that. <br /> <br />A river has resolve; <br />a river has a source, <br />has a destination. <br /> <br />You used to say <br />you wanted to be like snow, <br />but could not be. <br /> <br />Snow seeks ground, <br />collects itself, <br />is malleable. <br /> <br />You used to say <br />you wanted to be like music, <br />but that was not true. <br /> <br />Music has cadence, <br />has point and counterpoint, <br />has meaning. <br /> <br />You used to say <br />you wanted to be like me, <br />and you are. <br /> <br />When we are together <br />we are like <br />the music of snow on the river.<br /><br />Sonny Rainshine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/balanced-equation/
