pebbles

Memory: Agnes Lawrence Pelton 

Day 25 of napowrimo and it's the Tuesday Platform at Real Toads.

The artist I am featuring today is Agnes Lawrence Pelton (1881–1961). To visit the WikiArt gallery of some of her paintings, click HERE.

as sleep fell heavy
on my eyes

words began to fade
into view

'pen me'

my mind knew
it was now
i should reach
for paper and pencil

but the desk was
four steps away
and sleep had me
lulled in her
tender embrace

cocooned

surrender inevitable
and those words

became thin ghosts

silent echoes
in a void

there

but not

one pebble

upon the shore

much like
all the others

except

it called to me

i remember that

and now it lies
hidden in plain view

muted
