They are a reminder,
A reminder
that the future is full of surprises.
A raging mystery unmatched.
Every drop of water
that splashes upon the reflection
has the opportunity
to create a wave.
Not all the same.
Some will rage
and some will ripple,
but either way
the water’s face
will be forever changed.
Don’t think too hard;
the beauty of it all
will never be lost.
We are surrounded by it.
It looks up at us,
and we watch it capture eyes.
Unending, ceasing to amaze,
can’t be stopped.
A ripple or a wave
whatever it may be
will always--always
affect its surrounding.
And, drops of water are
always splashing somewhere.

They are a reminder,
A reminder
that the future is full of surprises.
A raging mystery unmatched.
Every drop of water
that splashes upon the reflection
has the opportunity
to create a wave.
Not all the same.
Some will rage
and some will ripple,
but either way
the water’s face
will be forever changed.
Don’t think too hard;
the beauty of it all
will never be lost.
We are surrounded by it.
It looks up at us,
and we watch it capture eyes.
Unending, ceasing to amaze,
can’t be stopped.
A ripple or a wave
whatever it may be
will always--always
affect its surrounding.
And, drops of water are
always splashing somewhere.
