The beat walks on with methodical steps
Slow..slowly trudging with heavy thoughts
One step -- two step---three step..watch the beat...watch it getting faster.
There she goes..running and running
Round and round in circuitous pattern
Arms wider now - jumping within a renewed rhythm.....watch her dance!
The graying statue stays behind - tears falling from the hardened face.
The water begins to move and with its force, she is swept away.
Gone, gone, gone. she is not afraid anymore. there she goes.
