Ripples

We are falling and landing
Causing effect
Spreading and chaging
But not leaving defect

We stay on the surface
Seeing only the tip
Of the iceberg beneath us
That is too much to grip

Now for the question
Who exactly are 'we'?
What is the essence
Of this family?

The answer is plain
It stares through the water
Your reflection will tell you
Its humans I've thought of

Yet there is more
As a pebble descends
Falling and landing
starting a trend

We, are the ripples of earth
