a poem & a pebble.

 

took a stroll out onto the longsands.

tried to make a wish, tried to make myself a plan.

found a pebble it had a hole right through.

wrote a poem. gonna send them both to you.

 

now, it may mean something

or nothing much to you –

but, girl, i can imbue it with some magic.

 

a poem & a pebble with a hole right through.

 

i’ve enclosed some twine, so all you have to do

is thread it through & tie a knot in it, too.

hold it up so the sky shines through

and that is magic.

 

i came back home, i wrote it all down.

i put the poem & the pebble in the post in the town.

i made myself a wish & i made myself a plan,

but it fell right through

 

a poem & a pebble with a hole right through.

a poem & a pebble with a hole right through.

 

it’d look cool just hanging from your neck.

& if that’s as close as you & i can get,

then that will have to do.

let’s call it magic.

∅

so, just give me something –

send a sign or a clue.

send some line or something psychic.

do let me know if this magic reaches you.

 

but it’s probably just a poem

& a pebble with a hole right through.
