Ripples


A Poem by Silvia - Scribo, Ergo Sum!


Photobucket

What is life but a stone thrown into the deep water?
True.

But

there are many different kinds of stone
and many different ways to throw them.

You can throw a stone

so
it may skip across the surface many times with gusto
or
it may simply drown with no more than a muffled moan
or
kiss the water and slink into its embrace, leaving slowly fading ripples,
or,
very rarely,
there is a stone, like pumice,
so light,
it rides across the waves for so long that it may seem ...
forever.
