I am a Splash

I am a splash; the pond abides
serenely after I am done.
Such different thoughts when I was young:
back then, I thought I'd rule the wide
ocean, and command its tide.
Yet still those rocks and stones I take
and cast them into every lake
and pond, and every brook and stream,
still driven by the ancient dream:
To see how big a splash I'll make.
