Ripples
Moving from the place of sudden trauma
Towards the edges of fluid lives they roll
Pushing against the surface tension
Concentric circles, ripples of the soul
Time and distance wearing them down
The resistance eventually takes its toll
Finally dissipating they quietly lay
No longer ripples of the soul
Other forces soon set in motion
Things beyond our hearts control
Waves raising levels are now racing
Like tsunamic ripples of the soul
Events like pebbles cast into the water
Anxiety like hearts where peace is stole
The waves of effect soon disappear
As do the ripples of the soul
