"Fearing the ripples"

"Fearing the ripples"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

Amid the songs of a saviour

Born was He

Yet he would end

What many could be

II

Well loved,Well mannered

A deep well in the stillness

Until a stone fell

and the ripples became a disturbance

III

A feeding frenzy of hunger

A hunger only he could feel

Sated only by the things

The painful things he could deal

IV

And for awhile the ripples subside

Allowing clarity and meaning

But the hunger , the longing

Waits to be all consuming

V

And so for now

Sitting in the stillness

Afraid of the ripples

He sleeps.
