If the cheeks on your face are a beach;
and your tears are waves coming in;
there must be a conclusion to reach;
for when did those tears begin;
What is it about a wave’s ebbs and flows;
just why they go in and come out;
is there possibly anyone who knows;
what is reality all about?
For we’re all just ripples on the water;
each a part of that river called life;
often we feel like lambs to the slaughter;
our world is filled with such strife.
Our energy is a part of that water;
we are those ripples within;
with every new son or daughter;
a new set of ripples begin.
Our ripples are much smaller than waves;
their impact on life’s river is thin;
and yet, our very existence betrays;
a purpose from the Master, within.
The waves of water: a great river become;
each tiny ripple is simply a part;
all swimming to join an ocean called One;
and be joined with the Master’s heart.
What do the waves have to do with tears?
Stress within the body causes them, it’s said;
we’ve been ripples within them for years;
for they are the tears that our Master shed.
