Two rivers converged,
\nTheir contents combined.
\nGiving birth to a swirl of life.
\nFrom chaos came order,
\nfrom void arose form.
\nA new being danced into the light.<\/p>\n
It started so small,
\nIt could barely be seen.
\nSurroundings and self intertwined.
\nBut the pattern grew larger,
\nA whirlpool formed.
\nAnd with that was its selfhood defined.<\/p>\n
As water flowed through,
\nIt twisted in bliss.
\nIts soul was the cool summer rains.
\nBut its vigor diminished,
\nAs autumn approached.
\nAnd the cyclone’s source waters soon waned.<\/p>\n
Then the whirlpool said:
\n“What’s it like to be dead?”
\nBut the water which asked this had gone.
\nAs new water flowed in,
\nIt asked yet again.
\nBut it realized the question was wrong.<\/p>\n
“If I’m always changing,
\nMy life but a flow,
\nHow can there be hope that I’ll last?
\n“When the self that I was,
\nWhile pondering death,
\nIn this moment, already has passed?”<\/p>\n
As its channels dried up,
\nIt felt itself fade.
\nGoing back into that which it came.
\nWithout fear. Without sorrow.
\nAs it was born again.
\nResurrected with each spring’s new rain.<\/p>\n
