Turn the pebble in your hand

Poetry Jam
Pebbles


PEBBLES AND SHELLS

Walk the beach
   feel the sand
       let the waves talk
          turn the pebbles in your hand
smell the air
see what is there
what do you feel
breath…breath deep!

make this freedom real
Pebbles have history to reveal

  1. I love to pick up a smooth pebble and keep it in my pocket when out for a walk on the beach there is something soothing about the feel of them.

  3. Step by step each word makes one come face to face with the vastness even a tiny pebble has such an infinite saga behind its existence...beautiful Rae Ann...

  10. Wonderful rhyme in this - particularly the finishing couplet. Love the turning of pebbles in your hand. That for me, is like holding a bit of geological eternity - as well as, the sweetest of that moment, on the beach, when you plucked it from the sand. Magic!

  11. Enjoyed the walk! Thanks!
    When I go to the beach (which is pretty frequently here) I pick up pebbles, feel them, study them and carry them for a while; then, usually, I toss them back to their friends before I leave.
