Take a sip from the river.
Ah... mmmmm.
But don't fall in, dear.
That river slows for nobody.
It's free as the wind,
obeys only gravity.
You can't even imagine
the places it's going,
the places it's been...
That river's too big for us, honey.
You fall in, you'll wake up
on a very different shore.

Perhaps
tears and screams and laughter
are but song --
then there is no tune without life,
no life
without tune.

Am I so deaf
that I cannot hear your melody?
Am I so cold?

When I sing
will you listen?
