Chapter 9 - Ripples in the Water

Ripples in the Water


The waters calm surface
Has settled once again
The mini wave have subsided
From the fish that left
The song from the bird
Fills my ears slowly
And the fox with his red tail
Comes to keep me company

The silence is calming
So my mind can clear
But over welming fear
Of what can happen
The shadow of my past
Is as dark as the rocks beside me
I feel my life is nothing
And thus its my name

I pick up the stones
And toss them in
Then those ripples in the water
Have started once again
The sound seemed silent
But attention I did not pay
The bird stopped her song
And the fox turned and ran

Within those once calm waters
The stillness shattered
Like a forgotten window
Aged by unforgiving time
My soul sinks
Like the fist full of pebbles
Making the ripples in my life
Till my heart calms again
