Each pebble cast upon the endless shore
Is etched with traces of the ancient tides.
Beneath its tiny surface shell is more
Than what is shown.
Each stone a deeper story hides.
Last week, I shared something about the second section of my new book. The third of the four sections is called And Pebbles on the Shoreline. This section is less about a specific theme, and more about trying to convey an idea as concisely as possible. So, all of the poems in this section are quite short. The poem above is the first one in the section, and it introduces what I think is an essential idea for all the poems that follow - each one suggests a deeper (and longer) story hidden beneath the surface.
