Transience

like water we live in states
we are born like snowflakes
we freeze solid and melt quickly
we are unique in design
forever changing
our geometry sacred

we learn to walk, then run
a stream, a river, we flow
strong enough to cut through rock
no boundaries for our thought, we know
we flood this world with dreams and ideas
building bridges and destroying all obstacles

our bodies disintegrate and wither
a gaseous fog that travels upward
sees all
feels all
blowing through the wind
this is the state in which we are in
from one state to another we twist
transient and free, we exist
