A pebble sits on the blank page,

grey, flecked with tiny pale splashes

the paper, clean white, fine grey lines.

 

Pebble, are you Atlantic-tumbled,

your edges wavebattered, rounded?

An ancient fragment of Wicklow granite,

or storm washed from a distant beach?

 

You may be a micro fragment of rainforest

distantly related to this page

and through the interconnectedness

of all things I am related to you, my little pebble.

 

Your circles ripple towards an infinity

of their own rhythmic dance in a still pond,

tiny rainbows prismed within each splash.

 

Hello, Pebble, pleased to meet you.
