Hands and Feet in Harmony

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Just a week ago, I held this Harmony Day badge in my hand.
But that was a week ago.
It is one thing to hold a Harmony Day badge in the hand, but it is quite another to put the hands into harmony inspired action.
It is one thing to talk the talk, but quite another to walk the walk.

Fragments of My Hands

Pic by Segaern on Deviant Art ~ Hands ~ chiarscuro sketch based on Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa hands
~
Until I saw Mona Lisa's hands
I always yearned for
Elegant shaped
Smooth skinned hands
Graced with long tapering fingers ~
But her hands seemed
Not so arresting
Not really so unique ~
They were simply hands
Well placed
At rest
But energised
With asymmetrical drama
Telling a story ~
Quietly telling maybe many
Fascinating stories within
An unusual, haunting work of art
~
I look at my hands now
Quietly selecting keys
On the keyboard
~
My left hand is the pretty one
In many ways ~
My little finger always manages to grow
A well-shaped nail
So it looks almost beautiful next to
The finger sofly glowing
With a deep sapphire blue ring ~
In fact, the whole hand
Always seems to be the fragile one
~
But my right hand
Is the working one
Deeply veined
Scarred ~
I tend to carry heavy weights
Mainly in my right hand ~
The fingers seem more stocky
And bumped with a few odd lumps
To prove their work experience ~
I favour my right hand when I type
~
My left hand
Is a little like a tiny drop of
Town beauty ~
My right is like
Raw
Rugged
Rural beauty
~
I tend to be a fringe dweller
Of life ~
And my hands
Could almost be symbols of
The town mouse and
The country mouse
~
Unfortunately
These hands are not within
A work of art ~
But they are mine
With the potential
To create one
~
