It Rippled Today Did you feel it? Ever so tentative, less than a breath, a trigger of action occurring in a touch of finger's skin to temple ~ a catch of thought ~ so it has again begun. It is moving closer although it will have no final destination. There can be no action without a reaction, and nothing ever comes to a complete stop. Because there was a ripple today. God, I pray that I will be aware of the nuances this very slight movement will provide ~ a flash of color ~ ~a scent so silently pervasive ~ and that I will know that it touched me. Like McKuen's "Stanyon Street" the symbolism of the words alone evade memories of things long gone, but never forgotten. I was not listening when that ripple of yesterday passed, I had only felt the breath of a decision and that path then taken lies in some wooded dream of long ago. Done rippled along in other directions. Outcomes which someday may ripple back to me. Consider it never too late to make life changing decisions, as they only come to you on ripples of conscience, and do with it all the good that you can. ~*~ ©KRJ 2 May, 2000 [This message has been edited by Sunshine (07-30-2002 04:35 PM).] |

Our lives....we create and feel ripples daily....some that crash into others and some which simply lap at their feet... soothingly.... Excellent poem for the moment.... |

Great words. Ripples can have either a positive effect and then they are wonderful. Or they can be turbulent and affect so many and so much. But you're right, there are always ripples. I like your 'softer than a breath' kind of ripple. Hugs, Marti "Even if life is full of thorns, I still embrace it for I know that in between those thorns, there is a rose worth all the pain." |

where is the ending to the circle of life? such a small pebble in a pond rippling tides, wiping sweat from beaches they are the legacys of woe until they ripple back from the out back to the center Sizzling writing, Karilea. Handled with perfect maturity and prophetic verse. jeff |
