Pebble

Cheese

Or the moon

Or pitted somethings

You aren’t so interesting

And yet I’m supposed to find you

Beautiful?

If I could shrink in size,

I could scale you

I’m sure that

From a much closer view

You have hills and valleys

And pits to fall into

Or jump over

If I were smaller than a dust mite,

I could traverse your rough terrain

For days

And still have more to explore

I could nap on your surface

As it warms in the sun

Like a microscopic lizard

Maybe you have broken off

A beautiful building

And haven’t felt complete since?

I feel like that sometimes

Maybe you should go diving with me

Into the sea

And find a new wondrous home

At the bottom

Sink to depths

Your body would survive

Unlike mine

Imagining it,

There could be cause to be proud

Of what you have done

Where you have been,

And what you could be,

Little pebble
