Just in case you have nothing to do - yeah right! - you can spend a few minutes looking for my hands.
While you're at it, consider submitting a photo of your own hands to this Show Us Your Hands project created by that brilliant RA Guy.
Here's a link to a poem I wrote for the Loose Blogger's Consortium, entitled "Hands of Time":
These hands of mine
They've done some time
They've been gripped in such fury
Known the wringing of deep worry
For many years, they were cold
Locked in sadness, I felt old
Choking and sputtering, it was apparent
Creating and relating, they had been errant
Stress had infixed a big detour
From heart to hands, of that, I'm sure
They've known sadness and grief
But now there's hope and belief
Although my hands are deformed
My heart, my hands, they're transformed
It gives me joy, it makes me sing
Helping you ease that stress thing
I extend my hand to give you assistance
But you'll need to reach out, to cover the distance
Blending four hands and two hearts
Don't you just love those fresh new starts?
These hands of mine
They've done some time.
lovely poem, lovely pic!
What a beautiful poem, Marianna 🙂 And I might add, very skilled at easing one’s stress… you’ve given me terrific guidance and the gift of peace of mind following a most stressful week!
Thanks, Dorlee.
I’m glad to hear it.
You are beautiful, Marianna. And your poem is both lovely and powerful in its healing.
