Two Little Streams

Two little streams flowing
                                  through a river
Once met and spoke to 
                                  one another
One asked the other 
                                  about his path
And he answered that 
His path was but encumbered
With the sin of the people 
And it took him long 
                                  to reach there

"What about you, my friend?"
                                  he asked the other
Delighted was he and answered that 
His was a path among 
                                   fragrant flowers
Everyone drank from him
                                   with silvery cups
Children played with him
                                   with great laughter 

Then the river said unto them
Forget about your wanderings
However sad or gay
For you are a part of me
And we belong to our mother, the Sea.
