Wave Ripples
Dropped pebble ripples
your reflection, undulating
like a sharp heart beat.
Beats like pulse of wave,
current after current of
our memories, lost.
Ripples from skipped stones
fracture your reflection, once
clear on still water.

I enjoyed all three but love how you used "undulating."
This was beautiful, Michele- kind of melancholy...
Really like the last one. Such a sense of the impermanence of everything...
I like the progression of ripples in our memories that distort the past.
All three are lovely; I particularly like the first one.
My favorite line: "fracture your reflection"
Hi Chelle! These are all wonderful. I like your concentration on the passage of time, its constant ebb. In the first, I especially love the rhythm of the ripples/heart beat.
