Skipping stone

Author: jazzy75

Grey blue water floats stars of predawn hour
Reign of silence masters living reflective figure
Stands in power, writing history of future
Stone…round, smooth warms palm to heart
Controlled movement, released
Skips stone free
Choices abound with each breath breached
One, two, three, four, five, six…seven, eight…nine…ten…
Settles in silt far below the surface
Decision fortified outside, steels inner truth
Path strengthens…resides
An egret takes last moonlit flight,
White outline graces the soft pink sky
Figure turns…walks away in stride
Confident and peaceful in knowledge -
Skip stones deep inside
