these modeling hands 12-Aug-07


these modeling hands

i look at them

and took a picture with my eye

they’re really beautiful

don’t you see?

hands are my favorite part

of human body

i like to hold them

play with them

pretending to be a palm reader

even tracing the curvy lines, oldest wrinkles

and would like to call them

these modeling hands

cos they are made in the art of God

especially Mother Nature

when these hands are in many black shadows,

they tell stories of back in the old days

when colors and sizes or even without them

have been discriminated

still is today…….

but you see, i don’t discriminate the hands

these modeling hands

they came like poetry

not when they are writing

but the movements and their dancing

always been my muse, my inspiration

my comfort………

Your visits always mean so much to me....thank you for all your recent ones!
And thank you for picking me for rocking blogger girl....that was so very sweet of you, and touched me very much!

Love it!

Love and hugs to you always!
