Went down as it goes up again*
Once upon a time in a place so tall
What seems to be in the heavens that was so small
There was a chill that came from the cold air
And blew up into the sky way up there
What the next thing that happened got heavy with weight
And detached from the sky and was falling down straight
It hit the ground and that is where it stayed
But more of its family soon coming making its way
Then a group clustered in all of the surround
And started to make piles and huge mounds
It was the chill that was pure and made snow
It was fluffy and sugary and around it blows
So it sat there for awhile but a bit of heat set in
Now the cold air could not hold on it seemed this was the end
As the grip of white purity no longer the cold was not felt
Soon a geo molecular structure started to melt
Once there was this was this place that looked like icing on the cake
Was now sliding away rapidly as departure it did make
So it took a trip from the point of origin it began
And knew a pathway another journey going towards its end
It gained momentum as it was on a mountain
The incline was to great, it became a horizontal fountain
It was finally free and seen a source there as it was on the verge
Of continuing what it always was coming to a merge
Soon it hooked up with a flow, a quick running stream
Awakened from being the snow to a flow from its dream
As it headed moving along and it seems it will never stop
From a place that it is now but use to be on top
But behold as it heads home to its source
And when it arrives because it took this course
It is not over where it stays emptying into the ocean everywhere
It waits its turn once more and goes back in the skies up there
