A Rondel for the Pix This Challenge

Out of Nowhere

by June Sargent

You splashed into my life one day
causing ripples deep and far reaching
No barrier could stop your breaching
and capturing my heart in the fray

Harboring hopes you would stay
I ignored friends' warning and preaching
You splashed into my life one day
causing ripples deep and far reaching

Without anchor a love will stray
Heart turned to stone from leaching
Tears dried up from beseeching
I watch as flotsam floats away
You splashed into my life one day
