collecting stones
from the river
where I was baptized
moonlight
washes over me

    Very nice indeed. I find myself identifying with this poem, and on more than one level. And also, I had thought Tinywords had folded and am glad to see it is alive.

    Lovely little poem. Hope you keep up the good work. I'd love to read a longer one based in a fantasy world!
