Is it merely a notion or is it
true -
The ripple effect
provokes waves
in the ocean;
What really spurs motion?
Is it the combination
of integral rhythm -
waves initiated by
sound and color;
Bursts of cries and laughter
spur star explosions
maybe -
The ripple affect
of a quaking ground
danced on by trees
rocks the ocean
to and fro;
Perhaps my dreams
do have ripple affects
halfway across
the galaxy.

I love how you transform a simple idea into something expansive and spiritual. Each line feels like a wave of contemplation traveling through time and space.
