Of old coins & stones…

He fondles them between his fingertips blindly sensing the clefts & burgeoning ends
Leaping gullies & cliffs tamping down the deluge escalating… sighing as the summer
Breeze guessing the brightness of the Tiger’s eyes, transparency of a Quartz, freshness
Of a dark blue sea Howlite & old (false:)) coins etched skillfully in history…
Desire to own unparalleled beauty, frenzy inundating his senses, rationality flying out
To mountain’s guts where stones are born wrenched from nature’s grip…
He who tries to capture the unattainable, for riches come & go, heritage too fetching
To compass too grand to retain but frozen into words to depict the memory of the chosen.
P.s I love stones & coins for a very long time, I feel each one has a lot to say.
I hope these photos and poem give credit to their beauty
P.P.s I got an answer on the “nameless stone” it’s an Agate! You can check the blogger who sent it in the comments bellow.

What splendid photos OAWPP, Love your close ups… And naming your unnamed stone I know only as Agate.. there are various forms though, I have pick and blue, but the pink one of mine has the outer-crust of crystals too…. My Dad used to collect old coins, and had quite a collection of British coinage.. But my brother had them when he passed…

Don’t worry…the name is perfect! I use it myself for the copyright.
Thanks for browsing liking & commenting all the posts, I know how time consuming it can be so I genuinely appreciate 🙂
This reminds me of when I was a kid and wanted to be a lapidary for a couple years. There’s something magical about the life in stones. I like the juxtaposition with the coins, too.
Well, as they say, it’s never too late 😉 there is indeed life & magic in stones.
Thanks for this kind feedback!
