Ripples Poem by malini kadir

Let the ripples of water
Touch my finger tips
The chill spread like electric shock
Through out my limbs
Awakening sleeping spirits
I smiled with joy; so new to me......
The boat ferried on.....


My fingers I withdraw
My boat may loose its balance
I may topple into waters deep
For I a frightened timid soul
Hugging the lord for mercy
No match for the courageous wind
that creates ripples

In the air and water alike!
In confident waves!

'Dear landlord
please don't put a price on my soul
my burden is heavy
my dreams are beyond control ' by Bob Dylan
