Ripple

Sitting at the edge of the cliff

Feet dangling, hair flicking on

The breeze, I saw

A ripple

Moving fast across the land

Creasing the air, the sky

Imperceptible.

A piece of time falling away

As a fault-line folds underneath

Yawning, briefly, then closing

With a

Snap.

A ripple that moved across the

Land, its passing unremarkable

Its effect profound, for

The world is different now.

A moment passed across the land below

It shifted things, it moved

Everything. And in a glance,

A hair tousled glance,

Something new swept in.
