change for good (Lynette and Sophie at Grad)

your two young voices weave together
a sunny unison
as you turn towards each other
long gowns gracing strong young frames
blond hair ungravitied
tendrils cascading
black grand piano behind you
supporting the song
music of poignant parting and
celebration
of friendship gained
of transformation
of boats built to cross the river
of riverbanks
and the vast expanse     of territory on the other side
left to explore
of the people you were
and are
and will be 

but in this eternal split-second
on the stage
everything unites into
one well-shaped phrase
a melody that rises and falls
expressing lives
lived
with love
