Three small stones
scooped from the ground
white and yellow and red
turning them over
and over again
feeling the words he said
quickly smoothly
in my pocket
not to forget this day
sacred jewels
of earths connection
when thoughts are far away
something to grasp
something to say
what did this day just mean
I’ll love you forever
he mouthed the words
no context or a ring
did he mean us never more
our love will last
not we
or was it the future
he spoke of
you and me to be
I’ll not know
the chance has gone
a moment turned to never
never to be
forgotten for
Ill keep my stones forever
