Ebb and Flow

Black as coal
Darker than a moonless night sans stars
As blind to sight as a blizzard to a snowflake
is this mystery
drawn
compelled
inexplicable
Yet with sooooooooooooooo many black holes one has to wonder
How ever does this universe exist?
Einstein would have thot it child’s play
“Simple you bafoons,
One creates the chaotic world they exist in
and
the other is throughly entrenched in the theory of a chaotic universe —
so no matter the
head banging
there is a river running thru
the rivers of l o v e
are rare
And when found
run

than imagining.
Flowing strong
from time immemorial till time ceases to exist.
But rivers
Be they crashing as white water over hidden boulders
or pooled
black as night
masquerading as swimming holes
never,never,never run clear and bubbling
Like brooks strayed from streams.
L I e
rivers are a v
In constant f, l, u,x
Always flowing
Ever moving.
So why are you surprised to witness this miracle?
