a ripple



hiding behind
your protective gear
the familiar path

at crossroads I shift, a few
deer scared away in the bushes…

                        &

a mother duck with a duckling
attached in magnetic quad –
an illusion of unity

                        &

transcendent
this world swaying away
ripple by ripple

  11. I enjoyed all of these. But the last haiku takes my breath away. The fragility of a ripple, the unknowable outcome of a ripple effect IS truly transcendent. A very impactful piece of writing!
