callemie from Belgium
Drop a pebble in the water:
just a splash, and it is gone;
But there's half-a-hundred ripples
Circling on and on and on,
Spreading, spreading from the center,
flowing on out to the sea.
And there is no way of telling
where the end is going to be.
thank you !
26 May 2009 3:08pm
@callemie: thanks Callemie!!! a lovely lovely poem!! :) thank you for posting it here!!! xxx

A couple years ago I was at an art fair and an artist had a display with oil paintings that looked just like this in various hues. I love this look! I have been trying to find the artist since then but had no luck.
