I kept a lucky pebble,

I found beside the sea,

I took it from a rock pool,

and saved it just for me.

 

I kept it clean and polished,

it never failed to shine,

I kept it in my pocket,

the one thing that was mine.

 

As you were someone special,

I handed it to you,

for as you said you loved it,

I thought you’d love me too.

 

I’m sure you lost it long ago,

just like your love for me,

I wonder if my pebble,

now lies beside the sea.

The poem is crafted in perfect harmony from the first word and Where this poem takes you, is to that incredible, vulnerable moment you trust your love to someone. It is tender and heartbreaking and by your ending, it was the wrong person to bestow the gift upon. I too hope that little pebble lies beside the sea, waiting to be retrieved again, until given to the worthy recipient of ones heart- pebbles and hope eternal! well deserved cherries, I will tag this one to read again.yessmiley

Made me think of William Blake's beautiful words,

To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower. Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.

I also have a little box like this with worthless precious treasures. The one is small pieces of wood from the farm gate that's where I stopped smoking six years ago. Little pebbles too, from where I stayed for some time and there was some feathers, also medals from the university.

There is a little quartz stone some nuts also from the farm. The wood to me is from the cross. Had to look for the container glad I found it

Very good Ewan, excellent! Tom Brown
