Heraclitus In Tennessee

"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." - Heraclitus

Hidden springs
engender
tiny branches
that trickle into
Spring Creek
that feeds into
the Roaring River
that meets
the Cumberland
that finds
the Mississippi
that meanders
to the Gulf
that opens
into a world
of oceans.

Nothing still, ever;
no return, never.

Life, a string
of moments,
engendering,
that trickle, feed,
meet, find,
meander and open
into the final ocean.

Everything,
a flowing,
always...
yes.
