Conscious Gems

Conscious Beings



                     She sensed the grass has instinctively grown

                     Taller than the aged stone motionless and alone

                     Deep green like the emerald set on her golden ring

                     Like cognizant beings nourished by a life-giving spring.

                   Rhapsody of the Seas
                   Docked in Haifa, Israel

Valsa George Date: 11/17/2022 7:41:00 PM The green grass growing is being beautifully compared to the emerald set in a golden ring. The tall growing grass is projected against the motionless stone. Thus growth and stagnation are powerfully contrasted.
