A Ripple In Time

A new borns cry Tearful last good bye Swaying waves of golden prairie grass Shifting desert dunes - an hour glass An acorn dropping among forest leaves To mighty oak - a lifetime of dreams The changing moon - to full again Each morn' the sun - new skies begin Eagles soar high - our hearts go there These ripples in time - we all share ©Donna Jones

'Ripples in time'...sounds almost existential. That line was so good. May I borrow it? Allan
