I wonder at times if the ripples understand
you and I better than we
understand each other,

what it’s like for two of the same
entirely different entities
to constantly absorb and

release each other, like a
rain cloud falling in droplets to the sea,
or what it’s like to be fully one

with an endless calm
that is only met
once the waves are allowed to run on.
