The Pebbles That I Threw.

I've had just enough time to...   throw away pebbles, one after another.

Taken in Johore, Malaysia when looking for pebbles to throw.

Pebbles and marbles like things on my mind

Seem to get lost and harder to find

When I am alone I am inclined

If I find a pebble in sand

To think that it fell from my hand

Pebbles and marbles like words from a friend

Make us hold tight but are lost in the end

When we're alone we all seem to tend

If we find a marble in dust

To wish someone left it for us

Thoughts like scattered pebbles weighed on my mind.

Crowded my heart, hardened my gut.

My feet are heavy, my stomach carrying stones.

My head is heavy, pressing down a rock.

Only the sea can take the pebbles

That I flung

One by one,

Into the distant -

Depth.
