calibrated gestures
entertaining
thoughts of
me and you in
my heart
like a pebble in
a stream does
it stay forever
wedged between
other pebbles
or does it become
smooth with time
comfortable
but with the
current swift
will it too move
on to take hold
in another place
resplendent
and still loved

This poem makes me pondering. Sitting comfortably where you are or get taken by the stream. Big questions only life knows the answer. Love the stones. On ost holidays we collect heaps of them.

It may move and settle somewhere else but, the love won’t ever change. Loved this imagery Renee, a lovely write.

Hi Renee, how clever to weave your words around the rush of water over pebbles… How often does love rush and sweep us away? and how often can in turbulant emotions do we get battered and bruised.. But how smoothly also does that wonderful feeling enfold us in its smooth embrace touching every part of our soul.. Such are the pebbles of love.. And if we drop one into the deep waters we see how its ripples forever spead outwards..
Renee your poem touched me like the water flowing over your pebbles..
Loved it… 🙂 ~Sue xx

I believe that at times in our lives, when we change, we move on and sometimes leave others behind but sometimes we remain and are still loved even though we have changed.

Beautiful metaphor, Renee…relationships are always shifting and changing as is all of nature…sometimes slowly…sometimes swiftly.
