i’d rather be a ripple
more than a rain drop
if we should meet
in word, deed or stop

for raindrops splash
while ripples wash
across space and time
from shore to shore

i’d rather be a ripple
of insight or joy
to nourish life
to feed a soul

as storms come and go
ripples fade effortlessly
in circles gently dissolving
with each traveled tier

i’d rather be a ripple
of a kind memory
a masterful art
of ease and grace

may such ripples inspire
a soulful desire
to learn, laugh and grow
to feel and know

kind beauty, gentle grace
in both word and deed
as we rain or ripple
with each step we wake

feelings, fears, young and old
stormy stories or gentle glories
raindrops or ripples
a choice we make
