"Two Rivers that Meet..." (STAR Revision)

    The trees smile down on as you come back to each other, barely letting the other breathe. You two are a metaphor of love because when the darkness creates uncertainty in your waters you inevitably come back to one another. Maybe, humans could learn something from you two rivers...that always meet. The ground beneath you two is always moving because you two crash into each other and stir it up. Always meeting with the same urgency and flow, unless an unexpected wind happens to blow.
     The saturated ground is constantly moving under the two of you; it never gets a chance to breathe as you collide one into the other, ending in a place where two makes one. The two of you are constantly pushing against each other, one bending to the other's will. You two are eventually meshing into a single movement that picks up or pushes away everything in its path. You upheave the boulders otherwise called "life". Together you both teach us loyalty, faithfulness, and honesty. Teaching loyalty to another human being, faithfulness to the truth, and honesty about what motivates us to come together.
