A pebble on a beach

I am just a pebble on a beach

Or perhaps a sea-hare

On the seashore . . .


My life is but a blink

Caught in the ebb and flow

In the vast ocean of Time


I am one with my mother -- Earth

Captured in her celestial dance

Travelling unknown paths

Through starry stardust

Forever espoused to the Sun

Held in his unrelenting clasp


Forever longing

For her lover -- the Moon

Keeping him enchained

Within her grasp


Forever a speck

Of celestial dust

In the vast sea

Of the Universe . . .


What matter if I know not why

I am just a pebble on a beach

Or just a sea-hare on the seashore

To all my dear readers, I'm experiencing really bad, slow, sometimes dead internet connection, so my silent canvas may go silent sometimes. I'll try to post when I can.
