Ripples

Ripples A sudden chime reiterates She touches the world A fingertip And ripples sent Resolves Inward Feed back Distant Hits resounding light Fluent curls She signals Waves repeating Sent ripples Outward Washing through Eternal A holding breath for a moment Landscaping emotions Swell As she dips Down upon the re-entry Calling ripples sent On waking Reappearing Gathers the hems and skirts of beauty Reminding The day turns Me on a pendulum swing She senses me Ever to her Ripples sending Returning And every morning I stand and wait Looking over the edge Out over a precipice Waiting While the cool morning winds are warming I hang in a moment She touches the world Rippling

It's the currents of energy, of her. And here, your poetic thoughts thereof, so amazingly expressed, letting all of us sense her, sensing you, sensing her. Sigh. Love. Beautiful. Love, Shar
