Waves of Compassion

Undisturbed
A still, glass-topped bay

Harried
A motorboat dissects the surface

Trailing wake heaves the flat plane

Wave, after wave, after wave, after wave
Gather in lines
Crash, crash, crash the shore

Then calm.

The wet sand
High up on the beach
Evidence

A single act
Can
Mark the universe

Beautiful words, beautiful images. A single act can change the universe, lets hope the changes are more waves of compassion. The universe is in great need of more waves of compassion, starting right here.

I always look forward to your posts. They are inspiring and thought provoking.

Another beautiful poem. I want to know more about the act that changes everything.
