Flowing Souls

John Prophet

Flowing souls.
Incoming.
Passing
through.
Splashing,
crashing.
Kicking up
along the
way.
Spinning
eddies
forming.
For a
time taking
shape.
Spinning
till they’re
not.
Dissipates.
Flushing
out.
Moving
on.
Making
room
for the
next.
Flowing
souls.
Heading
out.
Destination,
who knows
where?
Unknown!
