Rippling Refrain
Written: August 5, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Nette Onclaud
***********
River,
rippling refrain,
rushing, rolling, revived,
ribbons of rain rearranging
rocks, roots, reflections — reckless, radiant.
Rivulets ripple, ringing rhythms
resound, reaching, reeling
rousing rare range —
River.

Rippling
A tiny stream next to a tree,
Reflecting light while it is rippling.

Given Eyes To See and Truth To Feel
?*** Given Eyes to See and Truth to Feel ***
“Yes. Yes, sweet, dear soul,”
my promise speaks
Once again
Of agreements created, sent
Into the rippling, “Amen,” resonating
Prayer’s progression
After a mid-night’s congress:
the self poised ~ bowing down —
the stillness

Undulation flows amid the aqua in silver, whitecap water spray.

Sitting By the Late Afternoon Rippling Lake
sitting by the late afternoon rippling lake
dividing shade from sunlight
dividing the day from the night
something that feels quite right
unlike a fisherman catching a fish
it will come jumping out into my lap
with no reel, rod, or bait
i will be a lucky winner, like in craps
from a replica of life, made it out alive
to drift with

Rippling Joy
Spring in air
Shine of sapphire sky
Blue-bells soak
Daisies dance
Butterflies drift in soft breeze
Joy ripples through me.

Love is ocean deep
Calm and beautiful
Despite some emotional waves
Despite some rippling anger
That comes and goes

Whisper of Rippling Wind
From my desiccated garden turned wasteland,
the dust soared high on the wings of summer wind,
surging on the canopy of the lone magnolia tree,
I nurtured with love for many years.
The dust storm scraping the sands of somber time
rose from the edge of the dusky horizon of strife,
swept away the dislodged leaves of the tree.
In their

Rippling River
A
river
gurgles and glints
with grandeur and gumption,
water winds its way through wetlands,
OVERCOMING OBSTACLES IN ITS PATH,
rapid, rolling, rippling, rubbing
p e b b l e s
smooth.

Worship Now, For Friends In Christ
Worship Poem Now
(For my brothers & sisters in Christ)
In this bursting hour,
I find that words refuse
Both to set or cling to the paper;
Instead, I must patiently
Capture them
As they ride the streaks —
Like light on rays...
But unseen, completely
Sensed...an energy in the joining
Of my soul with the Holy Spirit —
Streams of gifted Grace
Dance
The glorifying of

Viewed Vision Rippling-
What is in the waters?
What is this image,
this that I view...
Those collocating waters;
Mirror imaging
viewed vision rippling
Seems like it’s raining
And how is this be
A tree atop of tree
Is it the roots or reflection?
Of things that be
Rolling are the waters
Envision is the tree
In out of the waters
Motioning, rippling
And how
