Ripples On The Surface
Raindrops create ripples
on the river’s surface.
The ripples make tiny waves
but they don’t penetrate
below the surface level.
Beneath the surface lies
the water’s deep stillness
that remains undisturbed.
The rain is just like
my own emotions,
thoughts,
and sensations
that ripple across the surface of my being,
they temporarily disturb
and alter the surface,
but can never touch
the stillness underneath.
