Creating Ripples

To create and maintain

32 seconds of wonder

can take a lifetime.

Like some strange law

of diminishing returns,

where meaning

spreads out,

like ripples,

from the creator,

who finds such pride,

such purpose,

in their process,

that they drop a stone

into water that splashes

through the medium of people.

We can create our meaning,

through where we spend our time,

if you can feel it gleaming.
