A Pebble for Your Thoughts

Pebble Cast on Still Waters

I cast a pebble on the lake

and watched the ripples it could make:

concentric circles spreading out.

I wondered at this nature feat

since nature can’t be obsolete;

But circles?  Pebbles’ only route?

And so it goes, just like that thought:

one pebble – and look what is wrought…

a thought, like circles, casts no doubt.
