Sparkling in the sunshine
Pristine, white and pure
I am a snowflake there
High up above them all
Clear and shining,
Refreshing and rippling
Melting at the sun's request
Charging down beneath
The vigor of youth
Glorious power
As I hurtle down
Rocks be damned
Youth left behind
I start bloating up
As I lose my strength
And take life as it comes
I go with the flow
Accept all the muck
The rot and garbage
Flung daily at me
Vile and defiled
I'm black at heart
No life in me
Just feel like giving up
But nature has her rules
Being born a river
I must flow on and on
Till the day I merge with the mighty ocean
Will I be cleansed?
I do not know
Or will the ocean refuse me?
Saying I'm dirty, tainted and vile
I started out pure
Gurgling and laughing
Up there in the mountains
Deep down below, I still am. |
