In a flow

In a flow

I am in a flow

Since my mother’s water broke

I came into a flow of water

Sliding forward, slipping away on a journey

I am in a flow

Extend my arms to grab air

It is only a moment of gasp to realize

I am free to breathe

Clock ticking by my ears

Throw my hands to stop the rush

It is only a moment of scream to realize

There is not such thing called time

I am in a flow

Twist my legs to change the way

A force pushes it back

Relax, the curb is coming

I am marking a trail behind me

Not for you to follow: only for me to remind

My branches carrying on

I will go on in my flow
