Ripples

Capillary waves  in circles from a stone cast in a pond

spread their influence through the mirror

Distorted reflections of creation's bond

bringing nature's wonders nearer

Watery echoes heard near and far long after they disperse

Rock now buried in an aqueous muddy grave

its jostle of leaves and fish diverse

In the book of the universe its memory it does engrave

A stone cast into a pond causes many ripples to extend outwardly from it and it is the same when a stone is cast in the pond of life, it affects people instead of water and distorts other people's view of them unlike the reflections in the pond which brings home to the viewer the wonders of nature. An excellently penned contrast.
In life the echoes spread far and near as they disperse and it takes a very long time before they are buried in the minds of those who hear them. In the Book of The Universe, the memory is engraved, it will be remembered forever.
Wow! Mind-blowing write, in depthly penned and a very visual allegorical gem. Wondrous write! Thank you for sharing, dear poet... So enjoyed reading, though I have no doubt whatever my analogy is incorrect, please forgive me...

There are no incorrect interpretations in my view of poetry only personal differences and how they affect the reader. Yes your view of this is much of what I had in mind when I wrote it only with minor differences. Thank you so much Marie for your attention to the detail of the poem
