RIPPLES  REPENTANT !

Ripples  in river’s heart

in a love so expectant

are now repentant

about the downstream boat

that they couldn’t touch

in an ecstasy of their frenzied flow

 in tune with dance in the wind

and dazzles of purple glow

on vast jugging waters that they move

writing refreshingly new lines about love

with the pen of breeze propelling

the ink of water to softly flow

white birds of love alight

to read verses of penitent love

shimmering and again vanishing

into undercurrents of death

from underneath tugging

ripples of evanescent love

so lovingly dying into waters

with their sadness melting into

merciful  smiles of trees on the banks

and benediction of shadows from hills

sending  cool wisps of thanks

now the ripples clap with joy

sadness of guilt to the peace

of blue sky doth fly

and paints of divine love

rotate on heaven’s bright floor

to the penitent heart giving a merciful reply !!!
