Solid On Broken Stone


why is it
we wish
to master
things so
unobtainable

I go to the shore and walk
upon the edge of broken stone
my eyes fixed in the horizon
seeing where sky touches water
yet aching for something so solid

sky always touches water
. . . it is the way
and all things lie
in the interface

Catchy image, reminds me of a forgotten memory...
"I go to the shore and walk
upon the edge of broken stone"

Thanks for sharing.

Helen, that is such a beautiful and interesting thought.

It sounds like maybe your mind, and your heart are both in need of the same answer?

I like the way you think!


Very Nice,

Richy

Excellent use of a metaphor and theme here...very powerful writing and as usual I relate.

Every time I read you, your talent and strength as a writer becomes more apparent.  Yes, this is a keeper~

(big hugggsssssss) You are a fortunate one...I swear! (sigh) If everything was solid, what use would it be when you carry it all the time? I'd say to have everything flow and dance around you is truly a miracle, so go with the flow as they say, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
