Pebble in the Still Waters
has various meanings
and it brings different ideas
in the mind.
You throw a pebble
in the still water
the moment pebble
touches the water
it starts creating ripples
moving inside out
in a way bringing motion
in the stillness
as if triggering life
something that stillness
had been waiting for long
something water had been
praying for ages.
Ripples move like a symphony.
Anything on the surface
starts dancing with the
music of the ripples.
The ripples may silence
after some time,
the water may go still
after some time,
But the pebble
has gone deep down
in the water body.
A small touch,
a little music of silence,
a brief dance,
brings a lifetime acceptance.
As if somebody meets
first time in life,
touches gently creating
music of life.
Even if vanishes thereafter
gives a lifelong
remembrance.
That is the first meaning of
Pebble In The Still Waters.
The moment a drop in the ocean
recognizes her value
it brings a moment of truth.
Pebble lying at the bottom of water
is as still, silent, and motionless
as a prayer.
Water is moving, pebble is not
knowing that the water that is flowing
will never come back to meet
but still sitting silently with an
undying hope.
An unshakable faith in water
and trust in himself.
A drop in the ocean
can lose her identity
and become a part of the ocean
or evaporate
leaving the ocean.
Pebble In The Still Waters
Ocean knows, someday or the other
the drop will come back
in the form of rain.
Though ocean never knows
where the drop is gone
after evaporation.
Water knows very well,
the pebble
resting at the bottom
is difficult to move,
though not impossible.
But it is impossible to
bring back the same pebble
to the surface.
That is the difference
between a drop in the ocean
and Pebble in the still waters.
