Just
Just to hold a pebble
quietly, in my hand
may not seem important
‘less one was stuck in sand.
How important a conversation
if one was all alone,
without replies or feedback
one would stir to quest, his own.
Just to see a child's eyes, razzle
Because of the butterfly on her hand !
it’s remarkable for what one yearns
no one could ever understand.
Just to hold a pebble
because you handed it to me,
we’ll forever share that moment, rare
individually for eternity.

I think you put the extra spaces between lines
to make it seem more profound.
It doesn't work
