Staircase of Ripples

by Juhi Gupte

A pebble jumped

in a lustrous lake;

Onto

at Ripple one...

with skinned knees

games at twilight

Cuts-on-each,

grain, grit, gravel

tell volumes of their travel,

being shoved to

bigger dream-city,

onsite opportunity

at Ripple two.....

Love smiled at it

kissed dusty skin

heard the unheard

said the unsaid

fingers clasped

warmth elapsed

at Ripple three....

King of abundance

hid it in his arms

told wise words

stirred in stories

existed, no worries

at Lakeside....

Ah! This quietude!

no dance with the kins;

betrayal billows loud;

Dad, sleeps in the shroud

that pebble in disguise,

"I", stand still

Opposite,

Mirror of Erised!
