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 Copyright Kkh 11/24/05 Happy Holidays |

~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~ Always love to read you, and there is why. |
