Toe Prints

Toe prints in the water

making ripples

not capable

of making waves

blurring

the reflection

of a woman sitting

alone

thinking of love

of life

her past

the current life

and of

what might possibly be

a future romance

of him

whose presence

graced this very pier

but the reflection

though locked in her heart

is blurred

in memory's mind

by the ripples

of toe prints in the water.

Reflections..I see my todays and my tomorrows

Some filled with joy and peace...some bringing sorrow

Loving words spoken are like ripples on the water's surface

moving...stirring...as if from a raindrop....

radiating outward, spreading love without stop

Cruel words spread...bringing pain to me and to you.

Their sad reflections live on in us too...

So let us choose carefully the words we use...

For in the end we will win...or we will lose.
