the edge of me touches the ripple of life
dips ever so gently into its flow
as I become a widening circle of life
I flow into what was lost
or missed
I am rippling out
as life cascades
into feeling
connected
to love
I watch in wonder
its pure form
touches of gentleness
brushes of lips upon foreheads
gentle as the breeze
safe hands upon shoulders
around waists
being pulled close
for closeness sake alone
to rest one’s head upon another’s shoulder
in comfort
in togetherness
or even just because
is a wonder to behold
gloriously beautiful
ripples have always flowed away from me
except
now they are being met by others
such a melody floods my soul
in this collision of love
ripples colliding
circling back to me
