She started a blaze from one tiny spark

I didn't even detect

She loved the light, was dismayed by the dark

The stars though she seemed to respect

 The faint light that flutters at night to the earth

Would land in her eyes and collect

Luminous creatures she'd find in the surf

I never thought to inspect

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 the sand

To think that it fell from my hand

She gave me ideas, planted the seed

But she never stopped to reflect

The course that she's on, wherever it leads

I never would redirect

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

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 the sand

To think that it fell from my hand
