Salmon Falls

Each drop of rain
Falls a million times its own length
To crash upon this floor
And with its pain cause life to start anew

Each second fights its way magically
Through your entire life
Like a salmon traveling upstream
To its final destination
And with his goal in sight, life ends
To start anew

Each man lives far beyond his span
And writhes the life of all mankind
And not until his kind has passed will he
And not until he dies
Will each second of your life conclude

And not until it crashes against the earth
Will a drop of rain have fallen
Not until all men are dead
Will you die
And life will start anew

And you will have traveled
A million times your own time
And magically
And magically
Salmon Falls
Magically
