The Stream

The Stream

 

Pit brown, eddies like molasses

Trout, their underbellies speckled

with mottled brown marks swim

inside a subterranean world

Ceaseless the water runs

Never the same pattern

As in life the moment passes

and can never be lived again.

Never the same pattern

As in life the moment passes

I like that; looking up at the clouds, or into a stream, never seeing exactly the same pattern - and yet there is a pattern?
