Beautiful Hands? smooth clean well-shaped nails wrinkle-free flesh undaunted by labor or injury *** gnarled weathered wrinkled nicked by happenstance soiled by slaving in the care of another tainted with blood through caring beyond oneself *** calm undiscernible from youthful, inexperienced hands *** trembling, enveloping, encapsulating hands that guide with tenderness caress with loving-ness do you know Beautiful Hands? ©October 22, 2002 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

![]() (smiles) Yes I do, and your hands reach out to all of us with the meaning of compassion and friendship, which to me is defined as true beauty of the heart! (sigh) We all reach our hands out to you in gratitude in this circle of poets, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing! ![]() May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
