Currents

Love's push and pull

We drifted away

In seas of endless currents

Only to collide

It is written, sometimes, for things not to work out as planned. (Princess Di and Doty El Fayed, Joe
Dimaggio and Marilyn Monroe,) let's just call it circumstance rather than fate. Fate is just the
three goddesses who determine the course of human life in Greek Mythology.....lol.

Wonderful little poem...full of many concepts and ideas....dana

Thank you dana for your insightful thoughts on this write. I need to read up on my greek mythology knowledge. I did not know that about the three goddesses. Thank you for sharing that.

Nothing runs smoothly all the time. Water can be calm or rough. All you need is a good storm to create calamity. And yet, the calmness always returns.

[RomaJ]

Yes. It is the calm thereafter. That peaceful period where we can reflect. Then look forward. Enjoy it for what it is, what it was, and what it could still be.
Thank you Relic.

[RomaJ]

Thanks Aaron.I'm glad you liked it.

very nice, Roma...

if it is meant to be it will be....sometimes there is that someone we are meant to be with, and the current that parts us will be the same current that causes us to come together again.

[RomaJ]

I appreciate it this, Jacob. "if it were to meant to be it will be" always holds true.

[Philip Muls]

What I like is the thought that it is unlikely to collide in a wide open sea, unless unpredictable currents bring you together again.

Short but very powerful.

[RomaJ]

yes, indeed. Very astute..:)
