Stream

What was lost was found
What was found was lost
Travel down the stream
Find your pond
Hold on to the water that joins you
Do not search for the water you had
What was done cannot be undone
And what was undone cannot be done again
Sift through the settled sand and you may find what you lost
If you do not, move on
Move on until the very last
Move with the running water
Find your pond
Find your pond...and truly live

A little bit of history:

This poem was written for a friend of mine. I do not take credit for composing this piece. I do not know the true meaning of these words, I do have ideas as to what they could mean. Either way, I shared this with him in hopes that it might help him see something he was blind to. And now, I share it with you in hopes that it might also touch you in some way.
