The Ripples Are Ongoing Acts

The moon
of the lake
is accurate.

Am I big
enough for
the pull?

Yes let’s
write about
the pullings
of waters.

How small we
are to the water
would trigger
the ways.

Inviting the ways
of compassion
to each: offerings.

The ripples greatly
sew the stitches
of beings. Are we
good? Can we
be good?

How much water
does it take to
drown us, pull us
into awakenings?

I want us to pull
and pull into each
other’s ripples and
pull out the smallness
of the human in us.
