gordon

A pebble thrown into a lake
Will cause many ripples
On the smooth veneer
Surface deep
Underneath nothing happens
The lake remains undisturbed
A ripple will reach the shore
Then is no more
Dissipated by the greater force
Underneath the illusion
Returned to the whole
Once again it remains
Inviolate

Hmmm...I don't like this quite as much as your others Gordon. I think the rhyming seems too forced. Although...I love this line:

"The lake remains undisturbed
A ripple will reach the shore
Then is no more"

Anyway, still pretty good I think. Just loosen up the scheme a bit.

It was written for a reason
Recent feelings on certain people
The rhyme came by accident
Thanks for the comments

Actually, it's quite profound Gordon...and so very true.
