And You Were That Shore

.

You were skipping stones

and as I watched
a slowly arching ripple 

gently kissing the shore

I found myself wishing 
I was that ripple

and you were that shore

This is beautiful :) I can see myself on the beach and then transform into a wave slowly rolling onto shore two elements coming together! And I hope this helped my friend Darren too ;)
