When life is like a river
A **** is all I feel
Stuck inside the flow of people
As they trickle past.

So few have left me wanting
So many have set me free
And I floated downstream with them a while
Until my roots found the mud again.

It's on occasion when I will see
A diamond droplet hidden in the water
Who turns to me,
Smashes into my stem

And I am diamond
I am air
They lift me with them
And we fly together in the sunblessed sky

Not many stop
And say hello
But only the best
May do so, I know.
