In Streams

this stream
across the street
runs deep
like my passion
towards you

i watch
as it flows
downstream
brushing
the edges
of banks
tenderly
like hands
exploring
the unknown

i get lost
in the current
the same way
i'd get lost
in your eyes
as you gazed
into mine
inquisitively

this stream
from my eyes
runs deep
perhaps
with the same depth
as the creek
across the street

Like rivers love runs it course, like a rivers bed it evolves over time, and though both run the same direction, what remains beyond the rivers bend, yet remains unknown...

A beautiful connection of love and a stream current; but always remember Sandra, you can't step in the same stream twice.

Loved how you connected the stream across the street to stream from eyes..moments gazing inquisitively.
