A Different You Poem by Perry Biggerstaff
A Different You
Each raindrop on the water
is a ripple on the tide.
A million drops creating
a million ripples that collide.
I think, much like the raindrops
each and every thing you do,
effects another action,
and creates the one called…you.
Had you walked a different pathway,
chose a different time for tears.
You may have found a new horizon,
added hopes, avoided fears.
If you worked each day for different goals,
wished upon a different star,
Your dreams might not look distant
...your worries might seem far,
If you trusted in another,
gave your heart to someone true.
You might not recognize yourself
...became a different you.
Each raindrop on the water
creates a ripple on the lake.
You create a new tomorrow,
with every action...each mistake
Absolutely beautiful! Was impressed by the way you separated what could have been from what still can be in the last cautionary verse. And genius referring to each thing we do as raindrops in the beginning and ending of the poem. Loved it.
Wow! Such an intense and beautiful poem regarding paths we choose in life, you have said it so tenderly, gently and succinctly, said honestly what you felt, soothing over any wrong choices or mistakes with a perfect compassion. Absolutely love this poem, now a favorite of mine. Thank you for sharing, RoseAnn Give it a 10!
Simply beautiful words full of calm and..what ever will be will be'..

A wise and beautifully written poem and it was very uncomfortable for me to read- -it sounded like it was written directly to and about me. I suspect many readers felt the same. I think this artistic and articulate poem should be selected as Poem of the Day.. At least a 10 rating.
