Ripples on the Water – v3

A rock thrown in a pond,
full force, or maybe, just maybe,
thousands of pebbles, hurled,
dropped, sprinkled, skipped randomly,
or even gently coaxed into the water

ripples, reverberating, echoing,
growing into a groundswell, building,
a tsunami, enough force within them
to change the face of the planet
to change the discussion

at least for a day
onto one topic
where we live
this planet
the place
we call
home
