A Stone's Throw
A Stone’s Throw
A change in the river by only one stone
in someone’s life maliciously thrown.
Chain reaction, stillness disturbed.
Like ruffled feathers peace is perturbed.
The mirror broken by life's quick blow,
a second of altering the current's flow.
Cause and effect, fluid undulations
making tiny waves in tense situations.
All is calm. Then comes a thing.
Eyebrows make frowns. Water forms rings.
We are the water. Fate is the stone
breaking the surface, quite unknown.
Troubles soon fade into life's trifles,
as a stone sinks fast to an endless cycle.
