once unencumbered
miles I’ve trudged off course
pebble ground to sand
*****
why are you here?
I thought you stayed in my youth
Okay, but just 1 verse
The song “By My Side” was from the original musical production of Godspell. Godspell was one of the first musicals I performed in (the undefinable 70s). The prompt “Pebble” from Chevrefeuille’s Carpe Diem reminded me of the symbolism of the pebble that challenges the bearer to be wiser, stronger, resilient. It is also symbolic of faith which requires a walk without knowing or understanding where we are going.
