What are Small Stones?
Small stones are an observed moment,
written down. My small stones were initially inspired by the River of Stones
project each January, which sees hundreds of people observing a moment or
experience in their day and writing it down for the month. They can then be
shared on blogs, Facebook, Twitter or just written in a notebook, on a pebble,
the loo roll... To find out more about the flow of this simple movement to bring
more presence and awareness into our lives, check out the following link: http://www.writingourwayhome.com/p/small-stones.html
Dead fish
Suddenly amongst the stones, your brilliance! Silver-blue glistening beauty
so freshly lost from the sea, waves lapping their soft rhythmic pulse
without you now, while geese take flight above, air smelling of seaweed,
your cold unseeing eye staring up at the sky, mouth frozen in its final gasp.
I breathe in, whisper a blessing for your tiny passing, but your shimmering scales
making the sunlight dance upon you are speaking their own prayer.
