Pebbles start ripples.
In rhyme's completed circles.
A single word can trigger
So many diverse tongues
A single moment
The expanding Universe.
A gentle kiss, light as a breeze
Creates waves throughout our being,
A small touch of friendship
Can be everlasting.
A small silence memories
Of one who passed away
For whom the waves of love
Continue from a pool of sorrow.
Thank you Tom Billsborough for referring me in this beautiful poem of yours.Even before reading your poet's note I could instantly relate to the poem.Pebbles starts ripples- - - Wow - - -what wisdom embedded in this short line ! ! Our very ordinary things too have such power to transform our life! A single word of love or a kind gesture can generate circles of waves in our mental sphere and completely hold us in its charm. Love resonates in the pool of sorrow through pebbles of silent memories. An amazing write, thanks for sharing.
Dear Bharati, I found your Pebble poem unforgettable and it sent my mind thinking about small gestures that can have amazing consequences. I regard you as co-author of my poem and I put the acknowledgement in hoping that others would visit your work and enjoy the beauty of your thoughts, as I do.
The poem was truly inspired. I imaged words as pebbles rippling through. Love the ending Tom. From love sorrow ripples out.
Thanks, Donna. I find the same in your Senryus, bright thoughts and always endearing.
