The kissing stone

Bend at the waist and turn of the head, eyes aligned with horizon’s bend.
Stone in the hand, smooth and flat, perfectly rounded and carefully picked.
The mist that rests upon the water like glass, so still and clear you could see your face.
Then arm pulled back and the eyes narrow as stone, propelled towards the lake,
gently kisses the water….again….and again…until its flight dips below the surface
as gravity pulls it down.
Yet hidden from sight, still the ripples it makes, spread out from each kiss
making ripples and patterns that overlay and mingle together.
Sacred One, makes ripples in our settled soul, disturb our stayed and set out ways.
As the skimming stone flies across the water stir us up to gather together,

to collect our carefully chosen stones and throw them again into the water.
