Transition
          
          
Skip _ ping _ Stone _
                          stops

                 and
            sinks

                  deeply
                      and
                         longingly

                      emersed
                   in
               full
            wet
                 contact

                          eager
                               to
      
                      settle
                  quietly
  
                and relax
        ______________

As one who has skipped many a stone and who is only now beginning to understand the relaxation of sinking, I appreciate this.

Thank you for your comments.  Glad you enjoyed.  This was, of course, for all who feel themselves skipping along the surface of things, wishing it were otherwise . . .
