Chosen Once, Skipping Forever

Skipping Stone It had to be flat, it had to

be smooth and fit your hand just soA quick grasp and flick of the

wrist then just let it go Watch it spin as it hits

the water that first skip, then so many more follow faster and faster

in rapid beats to suddenly die as the river swallows So goes your

love, making my heart skip hard to just catch my breath

I feel like that stone, caught in your grip walking on water

until nothing’s left Before you I just existed, lying on some shore
