pretty pebbles

two pretty pebbles i picked
as my journey wound through beaches

vales, desert s and mountains

these healing stones of different
colour, size, shape and weight
demanded my undivided attention
and exclusive approbation

i probed in mind with imagination
larger, and my body with superior strength
to reshape one to a silver ore
and the other into gold in core

but ending dumping both
on the way side dump
with it i lost the magical power
the pebbles brought to my path
