pebbles

you took me to a pebble beach three days running
once to see the sunrise through to the sunset
once for fish and chips
and once to look at the stars and the pebbles.
the sunrise was nice, the sunset was average,
the red and yellow squashing the orange,
and the deep blue stealing the sky so very fast.
the fish and chips were the best i've ever tasted
but i think it helps that i ate your chips
and you ate mine
sharing is caring?
the stars were breathtaking,
"the celestial dance troupe presents
the stars of the heavens"
as they took centre stage
it felt like they danced for me.
but the pebbles were my favourite.
because they were so simple,
starting from huge mountains as old as time
or grains of sand that had found their way
all over the earth
to be this pebble,
in this moment.
and what a beautiful moment it was.
