Ripples
I cast a pebble in the pond
and watch the ripples radiate
The surface stills I see beyond
the little dreams that animate
and prompt my mind to look ahead.
To view the future in advance
I see the paths I hope will lead
to where I wish to go. Perchance
I can choose from the paths I walk
that bifurcate and twist and turn.
The correct way, the correct fork
along the path that does not end
The narrow path all souls must tread
to reach at last the fountain head..
