The Current That Carries Us - Adaptability

I am

the stream.

A constant state of motion.

A desire to carve a meaning.

Sometimes turbulent,

sometimes a trickle,

but an urgency

to never become still - stagnant.

When I encounter

the land mass,

the rock,

anything that is determined

to slow or inhibit my pace and my path,

I simply change:

my shape,

my intensity,

my direction

so that

I can keep moving,

find out

where and how I next

need to go in order to

maintain motion and direction,

moving towards something.
