the water mill

The wheel,
                        it turns-
scooping and lifting puddles
, huddled and shuffling drops of water,
                        cyclic and constant,
pausing and altering natural placement,
while redistributing circumstance,
                        without discrimination,
terrifying and towering-
                        atop and somewhere in between
                        source and mouth;
how steadily Fate may come
upon a freely flowing stream.

The first line should be aligned with the second line, for some reason it won't allow it to stay that way...
