Just
Just to hold a pebble
quietly, in my hand
may not seem important
'less one was surrounded by only sand.
How important a conversation
if one was all alone,
without replies or feedback
one couldn't tell if one had grown.
Just to touch a blade of grass
whilst living in only sand,
it's remarkable for what one yearns
and the request is not so grand.
Just to hold a pebble
because you handed it to me,
we'll forever share that moment
setting both our spirits free.
quietly, in my hand
may not seem important
'less one was surrounded by only sand.
How important a conversation
if one was all alone,
without replies or feedback
one couldn't tell if one had grown.
Just to touch a blade of grass
whilst living in only sand,
it's remarkable for what one yearns
and the request is not so grand.
Just to hold a pebble
because you handed it to me,
we'll forever share that moment
setting both our spirits free.
