river stones
caressed by flowing water
pale moon shines 
to share a night together
with feelings of fulfillment

river stones
caressed by flowing water
pale moon shines
as others are made happy
sharing some little comforts

river stones
caressed by flowing water
pale moon shines
and guarded in their approach
mindful love is elusive

Written for Chev's Carpe DIEM #4.  To make Becca Givens' River stones haiku
into a Tan Renga with additional 7-7 lines and Kerry's hosting at Open Monday Night at Real Toads

  14. there is an intrigue for sure - my in-laws have lake stones - similar. Washed smooth and are all in a stone bed and it is quite large as they have been collecting for 50+ years.

  25. Hank, another lovely song... the refrain works so well. I often think about how river stones do keep one another company. I would like to come back as one, in a sweet little brook, if I'm reincarnated! A pleasant, peaceful existence, and the chance that I would smooth out enough that a kid would pick me up and skip the surface with me.

    Ah. Perfect. Amy
