Strong intelligent currents

Running constantly

Some move slowly taking time

To get past barriers and enjoy

The things around them

Others move quickly

Knocking away the obstacles

without a care

And changing their surroundings

To better fit them

Unused to being restrained

It does everything in its power

To escape

Finding loopholes

And cracks in the blockage

It wears away and breaks through

Continuing on its set course

Not always do they stay on this set course

Choosing to blaze new paths

And discover new courses.

They can stop short, becoming dead ends,

Or they go on and join up with others,

Creating something more unique.

Each is beautiful in their own way,

Whether they are large and deep,

Or small and shallow.

Not always do they appeal

to everyone, but there is always someone

Who finds beauty in their differences.

Eventually they all join in one place

Only to be lost in the end.

It doesn't just end here

They continue on to new places

Reborn to build and destroy

and never truly resting
