Poetry Challenge from Human Being

Human Being issued anothe delightful poetry challenge-leaving a pile of words for us to sort through and arrange. What fun!

Here's mine:



A pile of rocks resonates with the earth’s understanding
Appreciating the tapestry of blessings displayed over millennia
Listen to the breath beneath the surface self
Childlike innocence survives, grateful for the resonating stone
The crust of the earth is only the shell that remembers
The life that pulsed, the life that pulses still
thump thump thump

Debra it is so moving...

'the breath beneath the surface self'

oh you see through things... what a wisdom...
and what emotions...

'Childlike innocence survives'
this brought tears to my eyes...

hugs...

P.S. i linked your beautiful poem on my blog

What fun! It's like a game I used to play at parties using word magnets on a fridge ;) Your arrangment is a lot deeper ...

HB also challenged me with 'breath'. i love your line about 'life that pulse' like the move froward no matter what
