Two rivers flowing independently…their waters fast and wide
Two rivers flowing freely across the countryside…
Two rivers come together…two rivers forming one.
Two rivers now united…from rising moon to setting sun.
Two rivers sharing all they have…down the mountains…through the dells
How long will these two rivers flow together?
Only time will tell.
For when they come together…when one river they will be…
They may flow together as one river…until their waters reach the sea.
Or they may flow together for a while…one river with one heart…
Until they reach a crossroads…until two rivers, then, must part…
They may be sad when parted…now that their time united is done
remembering how they once flowed together…two rivers that were one.
Remembering how they shared the air, the moon, the sun…their shores
Knowing they are stronger now then they ever were before.
And they will remember their time together with tenderness…
flowing as one to the sea.
Knowing even though their waters parted
some drops remain...throughout eternity.
And for the rest of their lives...every now and then
they will stop…to pause a while
to recall a time when they flowed as one
and when they remember…
they will smile.
