Heaving Mountains on Still Days

A Poem by Neville

Heaving Mountains on Still Days



When time lapses


into a single


collapsed moment ..


And the world


stands cautious for


a microsecond ..


I might find myself


wondering


if any of these small,


smooth, polished


stones and pebbles


you once gave to me


are likely to


ripple any less when


tossed into some


vast ocean than let’s


just say, their much


greater counterparts,


in some iconic


fountain or another


somewhere ..


Not to mention all


these huge and much


heavier mountains,


I am still left here to wield ..

What is it with women and shiny stones? Just take them and skiff them in the nearest water in the general direction of where they went, to see if they csn outrun the hopeful tsunami they cause!
Not that I'm bitter or anything. I'd just like to see them try giving a fifty foot wave as much earache as they gave me! 😃
Well, a little bitter, maybe!

The ripples and affects others have on us can be great or small or continue on for long periods of time. It doesn’t matter how long or short the time spent with them. Some create lasting ripples for good or bad. Just my thoughts

Well penned and thought out. It is smooth and the word choices are precise and creative.

Yes, the whole world can be holding its breath, like during the past few days, and yet the routine stuff and thoughts of our lives goes on as usual. A curious juxtaposition (is that the right word? :)
