Watching the silver ripples

I waddled right up onto the cool porcelain rim of the sink! A slow droplet let go from the chrome tap and fell straight into the pool below with a soft tap. I leaned my chest against the slick curve to peek inside? Round water rings drifted outward across the still surface, gliding all the way toward the shiny metal drain. The steady rhythm made the whole quiet room feel peaceful. I stayed right there on the ledge until the ripples vanished completely.
