Slow dancing to the ballads of Angie and Wild Horses let me bring out the emotional depth of...

What is the stone for, Jacob? Surely the Lord is in this place, But I did not realize it! I saw His stairway in my dream, This is the Gate of Heaven! I will set this stone as sacred, And pour oil on top of it! It is Bethel, the House of God, And the Lord will become my God! Why these stone...

Premium Member Stones for Skipping, Stepping, Sliding
I stood on edge of stream crystal clear and cobbled, with stones jagged and rough, smooth flat and rounded. How could this rumbled jumble or rocks and gravel have got there? Which stone was tossed and thrown? Which was skipped there by tiny hands trying for eight skips or more? Which was placed strategically in a row of stepping stones for dry-feet to cross the stream...

I have always loved The Rolling Stones and their song ... ANGIE, speaks to my soul of love lost, kisses whispered, and letting go. Their song UNDER MY THUMB took me to a place of pain, where I was treated like a pet, abused, silent, I kept my thoughts. PAINT IT BLACK reminded me of times in my...

All My Friends are Dead
After "the ritual" by Olivia Gatwood everything about this song is red, your wallet is brown, the brown a burgundy and the burgundy’s chalice has gold to dazzle rubies, carnelian, sard precious, semi-precious, the same- all the same, feel the same when you hold the cup to livid lips and send them on their merry way bumping into the ugly ridges of a throat lodged with stingy...

OH ANGIE my beau in morning light, We've rocked on all through the night. UNDER MY THUMB, our love still burns, Rolling dem stones to what she yearns. PAINT IT BLACK, let's sing the tune, Let it play from dawn to noon. YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT, But it sure pays to taunt and flaunt. Let's toss the TUMBLIN' DICE again, For...

Premium Member What Stones in Rivers Remember
Stones remember, the first cold plunge in ice-melt currents hurling the sense of fear. They remember each bump, each grind, each sudden collision, that carved their surface to soft compliance, yielding to the drag. They remember the murmuring bobble, as gentler waters tumbled them together, stone on stone mumbling in the cobbled bed. They remember the drought years - sun cracking their dried backs, leaving flakes and crack lines, on once-smooth sides. They remember the roaring...
