To Thee To be to thee as a glass ripple through the window of your soul, gazing through wavy pane aged a ripple cast from old. To be to thee that ripple, from a child’s skipped rock, skip once, twice, touch, splash, then ripple away from the dock. To be a shadowy ruffling of sound wafting to your inner ear, to softly share a sensual rippling a heart’s song you hold dear. To be yon wavelet of golden ray and seek thou in pensive light, the day’s last warmth safe in thee, and share then evensong’s delight. To be a ripple of love’s allure, coursing, sweeping through our blood, enfold the ripples of thou’s touch, through the undulating veil of love. ©KRJ 24 October 1999 ------------------ Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

I loved this. It got me thinking about ripples. I might have to write a poem. |

This felt like the old "greats". I love their writing! And yours as well, thanks for the beautiful read. Izzzzzzy ------------------ "With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls; for stony limits cannot hold love out; and what love can do that dares love attempt." Romeo & Juliet Act II |

I am simply overwhelmed by all of the responses. You especially know that your comments mean very much to me, for you don't post anything without truly meaning it! |
