Ripples
People are like ripples,
Running across the lake.
No matter how hard you try,
You can’t catch them,
And keep them in one place.
People are like ripples,
Drifting across the lake.
Despite all your efforts
You can’t hold them close
And keep them next you.
People are like ripples
Reaching across the lake,
They become distant memories
Echoing in my mind,
Creating a sweet, bitter taste.
