Ripples....

You tossed the pebbles at me 

and watched, 

as it faded behind my smile;

All you couldn't see are the ripples

that your pebbles evoked in my soul.

The ripples travelled all seasons

and tasted the sands of time,

waiting for you to come one day

and ferry my love to the shore.

The autumn sky wearing a grey cloak
and the breeze with the chill of a Reaper,
made the jaded leaves to retire,
causing the ripples grow many folds.

As the ferry steered close to me
I looked up to find Charon waiting,
I boarded the vessel of dead
and made my way to the Underworld.
