it flowed to me
through endless turns and twists
it found a way
it persevered
eroded my objections
i caused delays
it channelled on
between the rocks and crevices
it sluiced and swerved
it cleared my muddied mind
gave absolution
undeserved
i flowed to it
in deviated routes
i never guessed
that as i sought
it sought me back
while i digressed
it comes and goes
a merging now and then
a confluence
i veer away
it flows on still
in my defence
it ribbons
through my life
i did not know
that where i wandered
stumbled as i went
flow always flowed
it brings me back
it carries when i let it
i should let it more
that mellow
fluid friend
that knows my core
