Mayfly

Look, the light has come
The river's warm
Touch the breeze
It’s time to stir
And we'll climb together
Before we plunge from the sky
Reach up to sunlight
Taste the clear air rising

Up in the heaven of our small world
Limbs outstretched, our bellies empty
And we'll climb together
Before we plunge from the sky
And when it’s over
We'll lie broken as the world rushes on

But first we'll fly
Beyond stopping
Falling like sycamore
