Manganuku Crossroads
Swirl down the rocks and stones
crashing through infinite direction.
One would think you would return in
circular repetition if not for the downward slope.
A rushing journey toward crossroads
of four distinct angles.
You cannot choose.
For that is not the river’s way.
A stream of chance will whisk you to new places.
But one must be light as a feather, a leaf’s careless weight
to allow the adventure forward no matter the destination.
Let go. Lie back and float!
And see where descending waters take you.
