Ripples

By jfarrell

Like a pond, a lake

(anything with water, even a puddle)

Disturb the surface in any way,

And you see the ripples.

And,

If the light is right,

You’ll see rainbows,

Like a film of oil

Within the surface.

Disturb the pond over there,

And more rainbowed ripples.

Everything we do causes a ripple.

You’ve heard that saying,

Kill a butterfly here,

There has apocalyptic storms.

I press a switch here,

Say a word,

Blink,

Breath.

You press a switch there,

Say a word,

Blink,

Breath.

Ripples.

With beautiful rainbows in.

Everything we do makes

Ripples.
