CONFLUENCE

In geography it’s called a confluence.

It’s such a lovely word.

It’s where two bodies of water come together

and meet to form a third.

 

The geography is not specific…it can be two rivers…or it can be a few

and I think such a lovely word…can be used for people too.

 

When a family comes together…memories are shared and hearts are warmed

and in that moment of togetherness…a confluence is formed.

 

When old friends come together…smiles are shared and memories related

and in that moment of affection…a confluence is created

 

Individually we are wonderful creatures

as we flow along our space

but when we come together

something magical takes place.

 

We flow into one another…and something wonderful transcends

for we don’t know where our river starts…or where their river ends.

 

Yes, I think confluence is an enchanting phenomenon…

though it’s easy to explain…

how…when two or more bodies come together…

 

no two bodies leave the same.
