Rippling Puddles

It takes subtle movement

to leave a puddle rippling

Echoes of a message growing

wider, louder, and drawn out

It takes a drop of rain

to weave sketches in the water

Remnants of a splash showing

broader, vast, and disruptive

How far does the spiral amplify to hollow?

What memories of waves are recalled by tomorrow?

Do the message and sketches begin to muddle

by the end of a drop in a rippling puddle
