The pressure rises high, my dear To force our paths apart Beckon you from afar I do, for current she be ****** Twas for time we children planned, we are rocks and never raft
We were static to the standard when embedded in the bottom They said the river widens but we stayed and kept our view Being satisfied to share a partnered spot along the bends Some rocks require quarry, settled still we need but two
Water rises, water falls, rain retreats and drops again Yet the levels cannot meddle in a bond so strong as stone Our pebbles growing from our fusion will meet their river own They will step across our backs for founding guidance in their path
Even the rocks will fade, my dear To the lapping of the rapids We will crumble into silt, I fear But I want to erode with you Turn to dust and flow along the way From permanence to naught Embracing nothingness until Our sediment compressed is one
