Meander
Seasons drift over our faces
like ripples on a pond.
We hardly notice.
 
Storms flood the valleys,
lightning sears the sky,
sweetening the mountaintops.
 
Ideals and passions
spring from the greening,
fading with the seasons --
they always return to the earth.
 
Our love is the soil
through which
the roots of our lives
meander.
