If life is
but a pebble in
this eternal ocean of time,
how can we ever really begin to know
upon what exotic, strange and wondrous shores
the effect of our actions will roll towards, and expend?
Just a simple splash, a random wave, and the ripple begins.
Speeding ever outward, seeking resolution in harbour or shore;
the change that we have wrought will become, perhaps, catastrophe,
or vibrant inspiration, in ways we cannot know as we struggle
to keep afloat. Perhaps this distance amplified breaker
will attain tsunami strength and speed, and crash
upon some quiet beach, bringing change
and pain. Or, from some peaceful bay
the wave prisms radiant sunset,
offering solace and refuge
from a busy world
that simply
does not
care.
