Concentric Rings

Concentric Rings

A Poem by David O Whalen (O Haolin in Celtic)
"

Just idle musings

"
Pebble tossed into waters deep
Ripples awakened… from gentle sleep
Concentric rings of force in search
Of mossy banks ‘gainst which to lurch
And said stone sinks deep…deep
To mossy floor…
watched by perch  
…then seen no more…

Small rock  tossed, wraps silt around
Then snuggles deep into muddy ground
And sudden silence, not a peep!
It calmly falls into stony sleep
On mossy floor…in water deep
To visions of rapids
and craggy shore
Watched by tadpoles
…then seen no more…

Pebble tossed into waters dank
At random picked from rocky bank
By chance and fate, and cosmos swept
Like life and Nature’s mysteries kept
By chance and fate, by love and hate
We’re children not of choice,
 but chance…
Given only
a summary glance
Then seen no more
…no more…
