Carole Cookie Arnold Poet Free verse

Be a Vicarious Ripple

Be a Vicarious Ripple
 
A randomly vicarious ripple of water
Begins to swell into a breaking curl
Of splashing white water making a change
In the docile glassy reflection of the lake
 
As the lifeless water produces a thought
Made by the invisible finger of a water muse
This one ripple of creativity stirs an idea
Across the surface reaching into it’s very core
 
Trees rejoice with rustling voices as fish
Leave kiss rings upon the surface between the curls
Buds bloom as painted strokes upon fuzzy foliage
One ripple changed this lifeless environment forever
 
Be bold in your arena of life follow your inner muse
Life awaits the one who steps forward with change
Be a ripple then a curl moving with a living pulse
Making a difference through actions, leading the way
