Poetic Pebbles

Do you see yourself in the pebble collection?

            Poets, artists, dreamers—

are you a drop of ink nestled between
two amber stones
or are you prominent and bold
covered in sea green gold, nature’s ancient.

Are you rough, smooth, or a combination of the two?

Did being tossed about leave you hollow
            or did all the jostling create sparkle inside you?

Thank you for stopping by. This was a most cherished stop for me along our Scotland traveling route. I didn’t make it to the Dunnottar Castle above and to the right. Instead, I chose to walk down the long steep path of steps to meet the water’s edge. Walking along the beach, observing and holding ancient stones and staring into tide pools, watching leaves move to a gentle water rhythm and catching a reflection of a bird flying above was time well spent. Well worth the steps! Over two hundred is what I heard.

Very hard to leave this location, but a shout from above told me it was time to depart and climb back to the top. Warmed me up! Next time, I may ditch the bus transportation and get lost in this peaceful location. Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Michele
