Pebbles of Time

As the moon floated across the sky
And twinkled in the ripples in the lake

I sat silently beside you

And tossed pebbles into the water

From time to time you would squeeze my hand

And rest your head on my shoulder

There was no radio

No television

No pennies for your thoughts

Funny how quickly the hours passed

And how much closer I felt to you

Maybe more often

We should sit down together
And have a good, long 'Silence'
