Echoes Poem by Charlotte Ballard

Echoes

Rating: 3.5


I watch as a slim
Young man, dressed in
Tweeds and patches on the
Elbows, squats down with a handful of
Pebbles and tosses them
One by one into a gray pond.
The ripples blend, wheel within wheel
By the others.
The sun blazes orange
Off his eyes when
He turns.
Trembling, I cannot
Speak.

Did I just see God?

If he is one of us, I would not doubt it. Either that or a fallen angel. They tend to be poorly dressed and are fascinated with the simpler things.
