A wave and a pond

Once a wave from the mighty ocean

Rose beyond and splashed into a pond

The pond that knew not a ripple until then

Enjoyed the salt and storm of that wave.

The wave that knew not serene calm relished the peace of it all.

Together they rollicked, they played and they bantered

The pond to teach the wave to be still

The wave to teach the pond to swell.

And now the pond, she rises and falls

Against her lot, to play with her wave

But the wave now rests complacent in her bosom

Against his lot, to lay placid and unshaken.
