Life
Our stream becomes a ocean
Life can not exist,
Steams become rivers,
Rivers become estuaries,
Estuaries becomes lakes,
And alas become oceans.
A infant is a stream,
A child is a river,
A teenager is a estuary,
A grown individual is a lake,
Then becomes a ocean.
Only to end physical existence,
And become that stream again,
In rebirth.
