Lake Ripples

A lake surfaces between mammoth bones.
The valley once was a bowl for giant daisies.

Wind-blown swells feed now the open gills
of minnows, they are shuffled around
like silver clouds.

The fluid dance of the sunlight is rich
with the minuscule bones of long risen memories,

nowadays they are saltlicks for the deer who pass
to graze upon the dreaming waters.

WATER

A pale ray bleeds 
across the swamp.
Slick ivy coils tangled tight,
choking voices into damp grass
hissing...love?
—drowned before heard—

They say Mother Nature provides
but she doesn’t shield—
we live for ourselves,
as the swamp feasts on our marrow.
She taught us:
you either hide from 
or become
the man-eating ripples.

You have to get your shoes dirty
to not be swallowed.
“The water,” my mother warned,

times carve on calm lakes
thoughts that no one understands ~
warm waters weave whims

RIPPLES OF KINDNESS AND LOVE

May we be blessed to understand 
when we show others love and kindness…
how that love and kindness will grow…
and the beauty is we never know
how far those ripples will extend…
how far out they will go…

RIPPLES OF LOVE

We’ve al witnessed the ripple effect of tossing a stone into a pond…
How the ripples from the point where that stone hit’s the water…
extend far out…beyond.

Ripples of love have the same effect…
once love is tossed into the waters of our heart…
we never really know how long those ripples will extend…
how far out they will go.

Ripples and Tracks, Dreams and Memories

Lakes and beaches are wiped clean like a whiteboard, 
each day by waves, tide, wind.
Then marks of ripples and tracks provide transient tell-tales
of what has gone on since, of what is yet to come.
What caused those ripples? Where did they come from?
What caused those tracks marking crisscross paths on the sand?
From whence did they come?

Love Ripples

Liquid
Moon reflections
Illuminating love
With voiceless expressions dripping...

Redolence rolls ripples

            When  joyous jasmine  spread sacred aroma,
            it's scent mesmerises reaching my nose.
            I reminisce my affectionate Grandma.

All the ripples in the 
bird baths in the 
backyard disagree the juicers should
become toilets for 
foxes and the 
rare ferrets.

Ripples of the Past

Old memories visit in my twilight,
Rebukes from a time when strength was mine,
When the future lay unfolded before me,
Unconfined and untested.

Now, thoughts flow slowly, 
like a river frozen in time, 
The current stilled by the weight of years. 
Lulled in the night, I will fly fish for 

Memories darting like trout in an icy stream,
