the rivers of my memories
and those of my dreams
rivers real
and rivers imagined
meander through beautiful landscapes
like they're slowly chasing something
or someone
like they keep forgetting what they're after
but remember often enough
to keep heading in the same general direction
such is the life of a river
and such is the life of all
headed for some destination
it may meander
it may slow and quicken
and change direction and course
and split and rejoin
and grow and shrink
but all the while
it's headed for its end
the destination
which to break it down
linguistically
is the "destined" place
and thus
the rivers
like our lives
are ruled by fate
