I am the ripple

started from one tiny idea,

one barely visible action

Once created,

the water will never quite

be calm again

I will touch all who come in my path,

which will alter me once again

But I never stop

From my birth,

I have been ever-flowing

ever-swimming

ever-surfing

ever-changing

I will never rest,

for an object in motion

stays in motion

forever

Forever

Longer than it is possible to think about

An expanse that continues

until the end of time

Many of my children

have followed me

on my journey,

Created

from my infinite swells

I am the Ripple
