In the river there is music sweeter than light,
Brighter than tears,
Cool as the cedar night.
Mayflies hatch.
Spring fish flash silver.
Myriad grains of musical thought rise from the limestone, through the clear water, to the high clouds lit by the rising moon.
If we live once, let us live together, even if only, as the mayfly, for five startling minutes.
Meditative!
