The Ripples Returning

In casting the seeds
the stones, the words
into the ground, the sea
ripples touching distant shores
but sometimes returning to me

A wonder, in the sharing
the words finding fertile soil
reaching hearts open
sending their love in reply

Returning these gifts from God
that they would be planted deeper in me
Casting more stones out into sea
seeds on the wind,
planted on distant shores

on the multi-faceted roles,
personae that I have,
as poet, attorney, Christian,
husband, son, father, neighbor,
friend, etc.
&
the joy of seeing the way my poetry
has affected or touched someone else,
sometimes on the other side of the globe
