Emotive
placid ripples radiate
out from the stone's wake
it falls into silence
downward
from a nameless toss it came
flying in a moment
failing to break gravity's spell
downward
descending the abyss
parting waters of primeval ways
stirring the reservoir of rage
downward
what lies beneath
what longings to be stirred
what hopes become reacquainted
down there
a small pebble settles into deepest sediment
nests into it's new dark home
and then
something disturbed
moves
down there.
