    ripples

    cast a stone into the water
    watch as the ripples extend
    from the center of disturbance

    even a small pebble
    cast upon still waters
    makes its presence felt

    the splash of water drops
    comes raining down
    broadcasting their own messages

    making their way slowly
    the ripples radiate out
    until they touch the shore

    for every deed committed
    small or great
    good or evil
    every life is affected in some small way

    Thank you, kind sir. Poetry has always been in my heart; it helps to express what I observe in life, and how I feel about it. :)

    Thank you, Lady Francesca. :) A few years back, I thought of how our actions affect the lives of others like ripples on a pond. This was when we still lived in the country, so, being inspired, early one morning I walked down to the pond, and began casting stones of different sizes into it, in differen areas, and observing the results. This poem written in prose was the result of my observations on that calm, beautiful morning.
