Announcement: This will be the last of the daily stones for a while. I will be participating in the November PAD Challenge (Poem A Day). I’d like to thank all of you who have visited and commented here. You might consider joining me in the challenge. My attempts may be found here:  http://soulsmusic.wordpress.com/  starting tomorrow.

In my mind,
see him bouncing
on a tree branch,
pushing out his sound
in hopes
of being heard.

It is no longer
as easy
to eagerly
lean into
the curves.

Each and every day
is made better
by a moment
of stillness,
of simple
breath
taken in
then slowly
released.

A friend
can be a rock,
a priceless gift
of giving support
when you least
expect it.

Note: I really like Mandalas. Found a site the other day, that had a step by step set of instructions on how to make a Mandala from a photograph. Told a friend about it because she is far less deprived in the technical arena than I am. She brought back this image, which may or may not look familiar. It is the photograph of rocks, I used a few days ago, here on the site (Daily Stone #17). Wonderful, isn’t it? Friends can be such rocks, no?

Life,
like water,
whirls and swirls
around rock hard
obstacles,
finding a way
to sustain its movement,
eventually smoothing path
for even more
life.

Sometimes
the simplest things
are the most
satisfying,
bringing
an unexpected depth
of peace.

Note: A song has been running through my head for several days. It speaks of seeking out those simple things. You can listen to it here, hope you enjoy.

Even Mother Nature
takes time out
to doodle.

Rocks
are the best
secret keepers.
Not bad listeners
as well.
