Skipping Rocks


When outgoing tides were calm,
We found rocks flat and perfectly round…
Held between our forefinger and thumb
We skipped them into the sound.

The most successful throws,
Skipped ten times across the surface…
Smoothly sailing across the water,
Yet some stones sank on purpose.

Sometimes a piece of tree bark,
With a paper sail made a boat…
It floated out into the lake,
Only refusing to float.

Love can appear as a dream yacht,
Happiness and luxuries galore…
Yet the finest boat lacking honesty,
Will never make it to shore.
