Rocks On The Pond

a smooth stone
a skip
a ripple wide
reflects the sky where thoughts reside
a quick touch a moments grace
disturbs the peace of time and space

one skip
two skips
one short flight
like dreams that fade in the light
each bounce
a choice
a path we take
a life unfolding

the ripples spread a gentle sway
affecting all along the way
a small act cast
a word we send
can touch a heart

the water stills
the ripples cease
a quiet calm
a moments peace
reflection clear the sky so blue
a chance to start

like rocks on pond our lives unfold
a story whispered yet to be told
each choice we make
each step we tread
leaves ripples lasting

cast your stone with purpose and truth
watch the ripples old and new
for in their dance a lesson lies
of moments passing beneath changing skies
