FOREVER a WAVE, NEVER a RIPPLE

Death is unreal until it is;

It plummets like a rock

To form for evermore a wave

Inside a broken heart

Like Neptune on his chariot

I ride the rolling crest

Determined your life’s memories

Not be ripples at best

FOREVER a WAVE, NEVER a RIPPLE-SYNOPSIS

 The death of a loved one is tantamount to a rock falling from the sky to the ocean below. The purpose of those left behind is to forever ride the tsunamic wave not allowing the memories to fade as mere ripples with time.
