Green leaf on white waters Tossing, turning, dancing lightly On crystal bubbles Though hard currents Past jagged rocks and hungry eddies Carrying in its tiny veins Hope of life Deep into future rivers.
Flickering flame In a paper box Tiny water star Floating past night creatures Lighting passage Beside green leaf Drifting innocently Around blind bends.
Green leaf and paper lantern Flowing softly through time Over white water rapids Different yet equal Leaving thumbprints In the ledger of life Traveling with their allotted time To yet another Soft, lingering Sunrise.
