Flow

I was first introduced to Mihaly Czikszentmihalyi in an introduction to psychology class at the local community college. He described the term flow coupling it with imagination. I have been grateful ever since.

Like the river

Like the stream

Like the rivulets

In the garden bed,

Like the words

On the page

Which might prefer

To be left inside

But insist their way

Out

Instead.

Flow, I say,

Flow.

There is no way

Not

To flow,

Not

To be left

Behind

But insist their way

Down

And out

Like the river

Like the stream

Like the rivulets

Like the words.
