Ripples

A finger dipped

breaking wet glass

parting

stillness

painting perfect circles 

that stretch like arms

reaching to touch 

repeating

reverberating

an elegant dance

falling into a waiting

wanting embrace 

slipping sweetly 

into edges 

colliding like lovers

running to meet his arms 

burying her face in his strong earth

he holds her

his sparkling treasure

makes a space for her

tucks her into him

she settles back 

into a peaceful sleep

in one another 

they are

home
