STONES

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

As stones cast on water

the ripples grow gentler

the  wider they reach.

 

As stones laid on leather

the wrinkles grow deeper

the older they get.

    A true and fine write and pic Michael. There's too many evenings - 365 of them in a year. Doh!

    • Michael Edwards

      Was last night one of them?

      • orchidee

        Oh yes. Oohh there's one extra evening too, if it's a leap year! What's Miss Berles do in the evenings?

        • Michael Edwards

          She has knits - errr - she knits

          • orchidee

            Talking about 'knits' - how's the itching? Hopefully not much, or not at all.

            • Michael Edwards

              Not at all at the moment - just hoping the temperatures stay up.

              • orchidee

                Let's hope we don't have 'a lot of weather' as they say!

              • Goldfinch60

                So much truth in so few words.

              • Neville

                as stones placed on scales
                tis those kilograms that tell tales

                oh' how the truth hurts...

                • Michael Edwards

                  Don't they just and doesn't it.

                  • Neville

                    Indeed, they does..

                  • orchidee

                    Arrghh, another evening on the horizon - dreaded or welcome?!

                    • Michael Edwards

                      Sorting out paperwork on behalf of a client - invoices, letters of authenticity, copyright agreements - taking a break - it gets a bit boring - I just want to paint and write (poetry that is).

                      HOT STONES placed on Back
                      In MASSAGE THERAPY
                      Eases muscle tension

                      Hi Uncle MIKE this is a treatment I use in the Health Spa ! The Stones are heated in hot water : dried and the placed on the patients BACK on strategic points.

                        I must try it - plenty of large round stones in the garden.
