Convergent Flow

The tumble and tumult
The cascade and chaos

All of it is pain
My being rent
By forces
External of choice

Until I realize
The flow of possibilities
Converge on a single channel

Even small choices
Alter my course
Through the rapids

I can navigate
Even the roughest water
Toward the serenity
Of a gentle flow

There is some beauty in this
The discovery of peace in turmoil
