I Will Take As Many Words As I Want To Write This Story

[b]Hold Me[/b]

Hold me
as you may hold
A leaf.
Elm or oak
still
Green on it's branch

Hold me
Cherish me
know that one
Day--
Like that leaf
I will
Wither and die.

Such sadness is found in bittersweet truth.
@SW-User Did you like my take on Shakespeare "And then is seen no more..... which Macbeth says as ""and then is heard no more"?

I was thinking for a while after posting this about how everything beautiful must did. I think I have a poem there-or a story. And yet, it is just a basic thought all know.

Did you read my poem of the of house. The stories it could tell. What the walls must have heard. And how it waits in a silent vigil for one that will never return...
SW-User
@Elandra77 Yes, you definitely have a story in the making..sometimes less is enough though. No. I haven't read it, but it sounds like something that would go through my nostalgic mind, so I'd love to....
@SW-User It's this. If I am in the right mood I can shed a tear FOR the house and it's loss.

Oooh that hit right to the core. Life breaks our hearts.

@Magenta It sure does. As wonderful as life can be, taking us to heights or lows we never expected it is as a hourglass and each of us have our own. A damning end to a life that was loved.

@Elandra77 Yes..so poignantly deep.
Lovely story of quality. 馃槍
@Magenta Thank You. I hated it had to end as it did --and yet, it just seemed right.
Wow. This is beautiful. I love it. 馃枻
I mean that. I have no words. It鈥檚 really has so much feeling. 馃枻
@DarkHeaven Thank You so much! Truly, I mean that. This came to me in a moment of inspiration. Glad I wrote it down. That you like it means a lot. 馃枻
@Elandra77 It鈥檚 beautiful. Tragically so.
Best way to write a story.
@LamontCranston Thanks. Short form poetry does have it's advantages over prose.
And You should take as many or as few words as express what You wish. brava.
@LamontCranston Thanks. I created this group on EP so I see it as my baby! I always post here.
Beautiful 馃挏
@LittleTinks I think sometimes we just want held. No questions asked. Just held. we may not be as fragile as that leaf but we want to be treated as IF we are.

There is a cruel sweetness to this and yet there is beauty to found!
I agree! 馃 @Elandra77
