Two by Two

Two
And Two
And Two Again
Two More
And Two past that
And then Two More ...

And they Tell Two People
And So on ...

Ripples in the Water
Waiting for the Circles to Meld into the Sea

The Ripples will Disappear
to our View
But The Water Continues to Hold Them
and Contain All of its Drops
Old and New ...

Until, of course,  It Returns to the Heavens
(But then it's a Mist
And We hardly Ever notice)

But the Ripples are still There,
Quiet, although seemingly gone
Because
Whatever is Displaced
Remains part of the ever-Moving Tide

It's part of the Natural World
(even our Human Actions)
Becoming One with The World
Two by Two
We Survive

Only Challenges coming Our Way in the Water;
Every Second.
These Waves Can be OverWhelming
Confusing
and Terrifying ...

Two, Again
are our Choices:
Survive,
Succumb;
Exist,
Expire;
Survive,
Shine;
Exist,
Evolve....

I choose:
Shine --
like a Beacon;

I choose:
Evolve --
In Order to Hold up Strong,
Swim in the Waters of Love and Joy
Wherein I've been Placed.
Share this Sea of Wonder
with One of Two
That I Chose,
and Still Do ...
