I found it today a once green leaf pressed between pages of an old book it speaks of a different man a man tilting on the edge of yesterday holding himself steady with a dream a hint a belief he took my hand crouching as if to spring stepped to firm ground slowly carefully he fit me into the round of his need deep in those warming spring nights we became a silver green flowering leaving behind moss hidden remnants of other lives and a once green leaf pressed between pages of an old book |

Love is a funny thing because it changes right before our eyes, becoming something different from what we had originally anticipated. Nice writing here with images that remain in the mind. |

Ahh, Kate...you are so right. Strange and eerie little things continue to happen.  Enjoying this - it's been far too long between reads.   |

I wrote an entire book about a man just like this now, and that book gives me comfort now and again...a memory pressed between each page... beautiful writing |

Maybe I read too much between the lines, but the piece seemed poignant, and a little sad to me. Kind of like looking through a relatives photos and finding one that contained a half-forgotten memory that is still bitter-sweet. Excellent write, even if I am guilty of misinterpretation. |

THIS is just exquisite, Lady. To have lived and found such passion and love in a world which is quickly turning into something I, for one, do not recognize, the poetry is is spectacular. Beautifully penned. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |
