there's a girl by the pond

she's good at skipping stones

there's a crowd of greedy spectators  

they like to watch her throw

but she's in love with the earth

and she's afraid to let go

but no matter how hard she tries

no matter how tight she holds

the stones disappear

into the waters, dark and cold

lost forever, into the deep

with the roar of applause

to the bottom, they sink

she sits by the river

and the girl starts to weep

for her simple treasures, 

that she can not keep
