Plop! in the middle of the ravine
a polished pebble creates a wave of awe
Stirred surface, and rings begin to spread
throughout the valley, to tell of what they saw
.
Exhilaration in the hillside trees
as they, too, pick up on the storyline
Jittery leaves catch the wind passing by
then gesticulate what is on their mind
.
A lone bird met upon the party
and fled to greet a cheerful swarm
Soon butterflies and trails of honeybees alight
with news of Belle in her fiancĂ©’s arm
.
A tender warmth glistens in her eyes
as she sculpts their affection in the sand
Together, they make ripples come alive
when her love releases a nugget from his hand
Arioso
