smooth strength

.

.

wrought iron bent in curves with swirls . against the backdrop of greening earth and branches



small black stones curve smooth by waves wrapped in spring and sky colored twine

a wish for you . for me

to feel smooth strength this week

in iron and stone

.
.

in pursuit

I had one of those days this past weekend . so my camera and I took a walk



found abstract shelter under an oak . bare branches and all



was enchanted by three deep red dogwood leaves . still hanging on



feeling refreshed at home again . I curled up on the couch and found peace




in recycled text and smooth stone brought together in the late afternoon light

.
.

palm of my hand

a pause mid stride to gasp at this stone resting upon the ground
now happily dropped into the depths of my denim pocket

soft curves . subtle colors create . balance . shadow . support . light . smooth

words on a page . mingle paper and stone . so we try . held in the palm of the hand





lining up stones . imperfect prose this day . held and loved
