Plop!

I'm at a loss
I don't know what to say -

A stone to ripple far and wide and deep?
I need to sleep!





(I've really enjoyed the virtual meeting of so many fellow stoners!)

this treasure

Arts workshop open day
drumming heart
feet of clay

two's company

Hubby's stretched out
on the sofa
the dog's stretched out
on the floor
I'm sitting here
on the MacBook

the pair of them

I watch
as he opens the pack
demonstrates its properties
on my tarnished brass

and purchase
the "AMAZING"

for triple
the cost of
the old brass bell
bargained for
at the flea market
last month

snatched

Fire's burning,
contented dog spread out..
DVD's loaded...
hubby's gone for wine...
time for mine
(stone, that is)

on the prowl

my eyes open
in the darkest hour

my ears hear
the mocking bark of a fox at the gate

sifting the debris
of yesterday

shalom

We broke the bread
I tore a chunk
and chewed and wept
and wept and chewed

You passed the cup
I took a gulp
and knew my life and soul
renewed
