Entry Point Poem by Matthew Boisjolie

a pebble in the lake causes a ripple effect,
starting on a shallow entry point of a foreign object,
working it's way out to a violent disruption of the calm water,
the peaceful bliss of reflection is now a show of distortion,
merciless waves harass the once sleeping dirt,
life within the heart of the lake, scamper to hide,
avoiding the unstable conditions that are above,
settlement on the bottom, begins to become uncovered,
bringing up the history, the past, the painful life of the land,
the kinetic energy of the intruding object lives for minutes,
causing further chaos in the once still, content, motionless body,
wreaking havoc on all that inhabit the life pool,
after a bit the impact of the object is not as dominant,
chaos and confusion are lost,
the severity of the storm has returned to that of 1/2,
within time the body returns to it's original state,
when i look it, i can see myself in my entirety.
