Ripples

 


Beginning

as a brief flutter,

a flap of a wing

in space so expansive.

It barely seems to matter.

A dewdrop in the ocean,

a pebble in a quarry,

but then across the water

the beat dances

looking for new territory.

 

Tremors

beating a new rhythm

under the surface,

of this briny deep.

Rippling rivulet currents of doubt,

Serve what purpose?

A sea of screams

crying out.

 

The ripples become waves,

Small, raised hills 

of aqua spray.

Pushing towards the shores,

in search of more, a seashell

in search of a fluid getaway.

The waves are joined

by a swell, their friends

bustling together,

an ever-growing tower of strength.

 

The waves loom large now,

mountainous and free.

Taller than trees, liquid fury,

ready to devour

all that get in their way.

The rumble, 

like horses galloping fast,

a train hurtling past,

amplified and carried

on the waves of the air,

by the gulls and the birds

that fly up there.

 

A collision, 

as earth is submerged,

Soundtrack muffled, wavy,

world's colour is blurred.

The land stands strong,

but the water stirs.

Each rushing wave that comes,

weakens it's enemy,

and into sand it dissolves,

as it sinks,

immersed within

the deep blue drink.
