Ripple Effect

All A Flutter

mingling, tingling

creation's sensations

ringing and signaling

unique common occasions

singing and leaning

out over the edge of the ledge

when

perception scratches an itch

it soon signals the flesh

with expressions

impressions

keeping track of our steps

exhilarating

emotions building up in our heads

then surfing the body

on waves of pure excitement

until it embodies

bright, bold and vibrant

consumed in a moment

a simple touch, starts a motion

a spewing fire hydrant

or a drop in the ocean

the ripple effect

building a tidal wave

precise and direct

until the whole self is claimed

joining the celebration

set off by a flutter

no better explanation

it's life lived in color
