Slip Stream

Yoda knows the questions

still unanswered by youngsters

of each decade swimming 

in the slip stream of time.

Wisdom, growing in strength,

as a tall evergreen pine tree

from a pine cone 

split open by wild fire

or as the spreading dandelion

from the seed fluff sailing

in a roiling wind or a child’s puff of breath.

“Everything flows and nothing abides, 

everything gives way and nothing stays fixed.”

~ Heraclitus

Yoda - legendary Jedi Master from the movie Star Wars (Star Wars Databank) who trained Jedi for over 800 years.
