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 Thank You, dear lady! The intent was to show the fragility of life and how short our time is. Beauty of today is as faded beauty tomorrow.

And then is seen no more.....
SW-User
@Elandra77 Indeed very true & in an instant, all is easily gone. Tomorrow isn't a promise & neither are the beautiful things!
@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.
