Stream

We never walk through life alone —

the stream of us is intermingled

with the stream of others,

the eddies of our presence whirl

in curving curls, within the common current

The molecules we breathe

and every inspiration

have made their constant cycles

throughout the years,

and carry with them memories

of other journeys,

thought patterns of the minds they have traversed

And our desire to bless

seeps through our days

and through the things we touch

and finds its way

to where it meets the need that calls it forth

and so fulfills our elemental worth.
