I don't know how to be the smooth stone around which the river runs.
I don't know how to dance like a maraca,?
Rhythmic yet wild?
I know not how to flow like a willow
Or glide like a dolphin.??

My mind interrupts
It is the ultimate interruption. ?
When it questions, I cannot ignore
That is why I need you.
You defy gravity
Deny logic.?

So teach me
To sway like a palm
Teach me to cry like a waterfall?
To soar like a leaf, dipping and diving?
Teach me to live like a sunny day
And to love like a poem.
