A Ripple

Contributed by bigj on Monday, 21st July 2025 @ 02:51:59 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



A stone disturbs the tranquil glass,

Its arc a silent, fated flight.

We trace its path as moments pass,

Then lose it to the depths of night.

 

Our gaze remains upon the fall,

Entranced by gravity's command,

Yet miss the rings that rise and sprawl,

Reshaping stillness as they expand.

 

We mourn the plunge, forget the stir,

The subtle change, the silent wake.

Yet every tremor speaks of her,

The impact no descent can take.

 

Control eludes the downward pace,

But not the water we embrace.

The way we land, the waves we leave,

These shape the lives that bear our trace.

 

So fix your heart on what remains,

Not on the fall you cannot guide.

Endure descent with measured grace,

And let your ripples turn the tide.

This write contains so many truths - the reader nods in agreement with each line. Even as it depicts a deep sadness and sorrow, you offer the golden ray of hope. I could relate. Very nice write, P

by the title I thought, oh no, not another knock knock poem, here we go.
But knocks come and they might build up for more than just a few... real knocks, loneliness, sorrows of the past, things out of ones control, the blame yourself knocks that never allow one to move on down the road,
people hold it all in and end up hating any good will
from someone else / the clinched fists kind of knock
If life is a competition we all lost
you got to knock hard on the door to life


knock knock, who's there, it's me life, let me in
I want to be free, cause for some crazy reason
I seem to remember what that feels like.

nice poem!
Peace!

What a delight to read the way you write--talking to yourself as we all do to sort things out!
Not only is the analogy clever, but the message is downright revitalizing!
And it you can't get out the door, climb the chimney!
A no excuses tale of self renewal! I love it!
(and I don't' have a chimney!)
