I DROPPED A PEBBLE IN A POND

I dropped a pebble in a pond

and watched the ripples run

racing toward a distant shore

because of what I’d done

 

                             

 I knew that soon they’d wash ashore

with a playful, warm embrace

and the gentle kiss I sent

from me, here in my place
