Held Gently Talons Beseech of spring, to reach the babbled brook All un-promised promises, in twists and turns fate took The path less traveled once led high, perchance the heart to hear Fate will falter, time will travel, seasons change without a tear Captive not, the wind or sky, nor am I Canyons hold their beauty close, deep and down once flowed The razors edge, against the ledge, all are paths I’ve toed Mountains hold their majesty; my heart has been the peak All prelude to what is now more vivid, with reticence I seek Love can be an eagle, holding tight surrenders sigh Once, held gently talons, but for the grace go I For my embrace has manicured, to turn the talons in And painted there, the whispered wish to gently fly again So hold me now with ribbons, a kite that I can fly Release the sunset to its rise, exchanged the views apply Beseech of spring, this wondrous thing That captured once my eye Copyright Kkh 2/15/08 |

TD I am/was in he process of writing one with a babbling brook in it ( actually it was a stream) however, having read this gem, I may just leave it be... Good one, John [This message has been edited by effjayel (02-16-2008 10:58 AM).] |
