The Lake

Traveling it's tried and true path
never wondering where it began,
where it will end,
just forever moving ahead.

Never looking back at boulders
it might have missed.
Or focused on the bend ahead,
fearing it may stray from it's course.

Flowing, constantly moving ahead,
singing its special song as it
tries to teach us,

 mortals that we are,
that we too, can always "flow ahead".

We know there was a yesterday,
because we remember it.
We know there is "today",
because we are living it.

Tomorrow?
No.
We don't know we will have a tomorrow.
So today, for just a few minutes,
flow like the carefree water.

Let your soul rest,
 find it's serenity,
listen to the Faeries laugh,
the blue bird sing,
watch the tiny minnows frolic
as they play tag just below the surface.

Today. You have today.
Yesterday is gone,
tomorrow may only be an illusion.
So today, for just a little while
take time to
"Feed Your Soul".
