Stone Soul Pigeon

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Gratitude unlocks
the fullness of life,
turns what we have
into enough, and more!
Melody Beattie



There was a pigeon
Or perhaps a dove
Who loved a little fountain
And visited everyday.

Folks in the neighborhood
noticed when she passed away...


...But then something happened.
This dove-shaped stone appeared.
And when the neighbors pass
They still see her spirit here.



Beneath the waves,
where kelp sways slow,
A love story bubbles,
don't you know?

Lobster lad, eyes so bright,
This lovely lass his crimson delight.
Their dance a waltz or slow ballet,
Under the ocean
where current and sunlight play.

Briney whispers, a secret vow,
Two armored hearts allow somehow
Love's embracing oceanic sweep,
Happy lobster love
to hold and to keep!

Their silent vow, a heartfelt click,
Two lobster souls, forever linked.
A love untold, yet understood,
Two armored souls in together-hood.

Salty sweet, this love they share,
Lobster's vow crustacean prayer.



O God, help me to believe
the truth about myself,
no matter how beautiful it is.

I love your lobster poem. Pixie thinks they might be better in a lobster bisque instead of a love affair, though.

Dear Cloudia,
this is a touching story, about the dove and the stone. Gratitude is so important for a happy life. I have never read a lobster love poem before, how charming. And I am always delighted when I see sweet Pixie.

All the best, have a pleasant Sunday and a good start to the new week, Traude

I have heard that lobsters mate for life, and the words certainly ring true.
