Pebbles

On my own...

Pebbles

In sequence to the singing of common gulls

Wading patiently amongst coastal seaweed

Frothy foam fingers from the washing waves

Pulsate rhythmically upon seashore pebbles

A myriad of diamond star reflections sparkle

And shimmer off wet smooth stone surfaces

As the soft golden rays of a mid-morning sun

Caressingly kiss their faces with tepid touch

Secreted from humankind’s tainted tribulations

Comforting breezes tenderly brush around me

Sharing their autonomous whispered wisdoms

Bathing soul senses with serene reassurances

With silent solitude as my water's edge escort

The magnificence of lone mystical meandering

Along this unblemished shingled passageway

Rouse private embryonic psyche imaginations

Nature in its entire intelligible open masterpiece

Depicting beautiful inherent organic goodness’s

Is intrinsically worth striving after and grasping

And we only have to eavesdrop on our humanity

Hi Phill! Yours is an absolutely beautiful and celebratory masterpiece itself. Nature is truly transcendent as you illustrate here. Amazing imagery, flow, language, alliteration. ‘Eavesdropping on our humanity’- yes! Hope you are well. P.S. my dog’s rescue name is Pebbles!

This poem gave me a sense of peace. It reminded me of a wonderful place. The pictures painted with words were superb.

Reading this brought peace and solitude even for just a brief moment...I especially like the title reminds me of my darling cooker springer who now roams in the Garden of Eden waiting for her Momma to come...:)

Hi Phil. It’s been a while. Hope all is well with you.
The beach is a sanctuary. It’s draws one out and releases what’s in. It’s a place that lulls thoughts with its sound. It is a calming and soothing. A place of great strength and beauty. I love your last verse. Beautifully written.

How beautiful that you were and are able to see and feel such glorious gifts. Seems even when thought fluctuate from night to day, the glorious bobs up its head and beckons you look and listen. And you have, Phill, you have. Thank you for sharing what makes one realise that this in a way, is eavesdropping on your humanity.. '

Keep safe, dear friend. Please.

Was almost there with you Philip, i could close my eyes and see that frothy foam that clings to the seaweed as the tide ebbs and flows. The sea is like life itself, it finds its way and then relents back only to be pushed forward again in the magnetic pull of this great universe of ours. Being stilled by the enormity of it all is awesome ...

I am on the river today Phill, but you transported me to that pebbled beach where the sun was glinting on the wet smooth surfaces. A delight for the senses. Nature is healing, especially when you are grieving and alone. Take care. This is a beautiful piece of crafted poetry. Thank you for sharing it.

Look after yourself my friend. It is easy to neglect yourself when you are grieving.
