Inspired by the  prompt 'stone'

lifeless; Gods  we   worship  in  temples

    Did the Gods say so? No we attribute that to the stone figures, for they cannot speak ,react to what is said of them!

    Objects maintain their strength from their very quality of hardness, their mass! Good food for thought, Usha!

      Thanks Nanka for stopping by. It is all a question of ones faith. For some a stone idol may be a a symbol of worship and for some merely a stone.

      Somehow not being able to muster the courage as lack of resources hold me.. may be sometime in future..God willing...and I don't know why a publisher would take interest..

      It's kind hearts like you who understand and perhaps to whom I try to speak through my writings...it just flows...

      I feel blessed to have you reading my poems and that's another Gift of God..miracles do happen..
