The body of the infinite.
                    I never die.
                                        I only change.
                                                            I have seen it all.

                                                                                You’ve grown.
                                                            You’ve changed.
                                        You will be remembered.

Together,
                    all of us,
                                        forevermore.

                                                           [water never forgets]

                                                            it calls me home.
                                        the sweet nostalgia,
                    through bends and creaks
Running faster,
