[Intention leads to]
by the Gunslinger Poet
—————————
Intention leads to
Not knowing which way
the branches will bend.
Examples include: watering seeds,
needing affirmations, but not
thinking about the flow of water
in arteries and veins
over lights and pain.
Never what you hoped for.

Never what you hoped for, but sometimes something better comes along. But, so true – not knowing which way the branches will bend. I like that line and the thought.
