Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Streams flowing into a river

     Streams flowing into a river
        ebbing and flowing
        rising and falling
     The river separating them 
                     back into streams

      Many lives merging 
         into one lifeline
      accounting for everything 
         and nothing
                  at the same time

      Personalities rubbing, chafing
         inexorably blending
       in psychosomatic asynchrony 
         yet linked inextricably 
                               with heaven

      Streams flowing into a river
        The river separating them out
                    back into streams…

Michael Tor December 4, 2024 at 10:39 AM Loved how you associated the " streams into a river to "Many lives merging into one lifeline..." "Linked with Heaven" Life's cycle for both. Clever Free Verse with associated dual meanings linked to heaven. Well thought Gershon and much appreciated by me to read. Have a nice day my friend and thank you for the effort in writing...
