she whispers. "hey."

"hm?"

"you're my boulder."

he chuckles. "what?"

"you're my boulder. you're
stronger than a rock. you're
the one who keeps me
from losing myself. you're
the one who keeps me
grounded. you are my boulder."

he grimaces. "but if i'm a boulder
then i'd crush you...i would
hurt you."

she laughs quietly. "well then, you're
a gentle boulder.  soft and fluffy and
all that stuff."

he stifles a laugh. "so do i just have
a bunch of fluffy green moss
growing on me?"

she nods. "you're
my big, gentle, sweet, moss-covered
boulder."

he smirks. "well...
then i guess you're
my pebble."

she looks into his eyes. "how so?"

"you're my pebble. you're
small but not easy to break. you're
seemingly fragile but you're
stronger than you look. you're
part of me and you're
the one who can either break me
or make me whole. you are my pebble."

she smiles
and he wraps his soft green sweatshirt
that he's wearing
around her
shoulders. "mine."

she murmurs. "my boulder."
he whispers. "my pebble."

and finally,
both of them
are found
as they gaze at the stars
and into each other's eyes.
A small scene that popped into my head...just something short and sweet.
I was a pebble skimmed along the
waters of life, but we only brush on
the surface so many times.

Till we eventually sink below and
rest in eternity with all the other pebbles
once thrown in the waters of essence.

I look inside and it is empty
Void of even atmosphere
A book written on black pages
No hope of escaping despair.
Infinite space, nothing really matters
Adam cast out into darkness
A blink of experience shatters
Death is the only constant.
Entropy devours my very soul
Physical bodies dividing us all
Universal laws fill the bowl
Until you see the water fall
Until you witness an atom bomb...
She walks on water
Her ripples echo, become
The waves of my life
Our shadows soon fade
Here beneath the dying sun
When the day is done
I have seen the path
Where the blind men lead the blind
They gladly follow
Love, lust, desire
These are dreams that will become
My own cross to bear
I write down these words
That you don't understand

Beneath this shell
Is the soul of a broken man

Is this love?
Or only a dream

These pains and fires
Were meant to set us free
My heart is a place
Where a garden never grows
I need your sunlight
Somewhere on the way
I lost me, you lost you, but
We found each other
