Ripples

Written by Me

water, water, everywhere
water here, water there
waiting for a drop of air
to fall upon the soil bare
bare and barren without care
a drop of air settles there

sand fills in this empty place
empty piece of empty space
inorganic living race
thriving in an empty case
lined with shining silver lace
a thriving race fills in space

this drop of air that settles flat
settling simply to a mat
a mat that stands as tall as fat
sitting now where it once sat
thinking this, thinking that
sitting flat, an airy mat

meddle blue and meddle round
meddle dropping without sound
rippling echoes, newly found
waking, sleeping in the ground
seamus stoned, seamus drowned
without a sound, his death unfound

you set a stone upon the heap
giving depth, a soul to rest
an inorganic soul to rest
an interwoven sequin vest
in it, is a place to rest
a place to sleep upon the heap

i found you there, sitting there
the air was resting in your hair
i see your face, so pure, so fair
i step into this place, your lair
i'll give you love i'll give you care
just leave me there inside your lair

you pondered if it were to be
to think of thought and sought to see
to live with life which cannot be
distance broad, under the sea
the sands of which there lay an air
a later leap a lesser care
of air that lays to form a mat
sitting now where it once sat
echoes make a ripple found
a sense of feeling, tightly wound
i'd give you love, i'd give you care
but water, water's everywhere
