Ripples spreading through the water,
Waiting for the souls who make them,
Seeing forward, never backward,
Sideways, over, up or down.

Only forward through the ripples,
Fate guides all along the way.
None expected, unexpected,
Slow and steady on the surface.

Many reasons for those ripples
Float within the calming water.
Watch it wind around the ankles,
Feel the chilling warmth it holds.

One is pain, the all consuming,
Forcing ripples through and through,
Heaving sighs and cries and sobbing,
Hating life and all who praise it.

But tremors fades on through the waters,
Settling to the lake shore bottom.
Pain leaves only swaying ripples
To last us for another day.

Then is fear which quakes the ground
And shakes the earth beneath the wetness.
Jostling, coiling, leaving memories
Strewn against innocent shores.

And they fade too, to wash away
With ripples from another day
And jagged edges smooth to beauty,
To soothe the mind and calm the soul.

But of those ripples one moves faster
Making it the everlasting.
Love, it sweeps on through the lake shore,
Pulling on the strings of hearts

Love can calm and make things better,
Soothe and quell all types of weather.
Love makes ripples that move, unending
To embrace those with bitter hearts.
