Alternating Hands

Each day changes me
Moving in the tick of moments
From seconds to hours, smiles to tears
A secret kept from harshness or apathy
In sculpture still pliable beneath shaping fingers
Still shiny in the reflection of sun or moon

There is a glide about the days
A relevant shifting of shells
Reflecting in my thoughts the laughter of children
It seems just beyond the cradle terms to rush and race
But something stopped me here, paused really
Once, I was waiting palms up, to pocket or patch

But now, this day of thanks seems innocent
The stillness to endorse a hand to heart connection
Comes, willingly, without an offering to tomorrow
Intermingling soft and hard, shape and texture
Only calling out the comfortable colors for now
Snow signals an effortless meaning in copper tunes

Nothing is lost, for the music is made and reclaimed
No refunds or withdrawals, just a wholesome exchanging
Of Hands

Always love to read you, and there is why.
