Ripples
Words drop like stones,
Sending ripples in the water,
A continuous reflection of each other,
Bounding surrounding,
Bouncing and reinforcing,
The stillness around us.
And yet the truth hangs between us,
As bright as a star…
It's silence so loud,
It defines us.
And in that moment…
We embrace,
Allowing the moment to be -
To be defined,
And not maligned.
We hold each other,
And as the ripples hit us,
We smile and accept -
Accept what we cannot change,
And what must be.
