Ripple In A Pond

Charles Edward York 1966 (Saigon, Vietnam)

Free verse
Ripple In A Pond

Your love touches me
A ripple in a pond
Reaching me
In all directions
There is no place
Where I don’t feel you
And everywhere I go
Your name, your face
Even your breath
Finds it way
Home in my heart.

There among my shores
I feel your emotions
And I turn around
Facing your breeze
Blowing upon me
Something so subtle
Grace spells you
In all your affections
I remember
All over again
Your love ripples me.
