Like a pebbble...

LIKE A PEBBLE

 

 
Everything I say or do
Is like a pebble
Dropped in still waters
Ripples and waves
Meaningful
Meaningless
Felt
or 
Untouched
Echoes of my own reflection
Reach another
On some  close or distant
Shore
  
I tell the world I have bern
Here
To leave my mark in different
Places
In loving and tender
 Hearts
Some faces I have never seen
Some souls I have never known
 The singular mystery
Of existence
Is that there is none
Our time is short but clear
Like a pebble
Dropped in still waters
Ripples and waves
Echoes of my our own reflection
Reach another
On some close or distant shore

You embrace all mankind in your benevolent glance

Ann of Norway Oh I can see you standing there, your pebbles carefully selected by your discerning eye, dropping them and watching your reflection wobble and change shape before it seems to go abroad, the ripples do, but the reflection oscillates and stays where it is mending itself again as in the haiku:- Broken and broken again on the sea, the moon so easily mends................................Chosu. But then the echoes go far and wide, and maybe like those of sound they never end they become eternal. "Some faces I have never seen Some souls I have never known"........maybe "I've" on this line as I feel the flow is better? Love Annuccia.
