Saved from the touch of cold stones,
your words trickled me warm.

~Life is a heart beat~

Upon the wet leaves of summer’s memory banks,
I sit and remember,
how I once willfully threw the hours away
faster than they flew past me,
a handful of stones thrown away in a day.

For in a full glass of hindsight I can easily see,
I skipped over too many
of the more delicately embossed moss moments,
over looked too many
bursting nanoseconds of brilliant light
which normally only pass by the eye once.

But in some seemingly common handfuls of earth's treasures,
I’ve found reasons to move forward carefully;
for there are fragile native living things that sit
silently, hugging the ground...hopeful.

I turn around,
vow to sharpen both eyes and mind...
and find myself far from the touch of cold stones.

Your words trickle me warm.
