Wanting

Grant me again one tender hour, and fold
Me close within your arms, so turning gold
The shadows in my heart where Fear has cleft
Her caverns deep, and I have lived...bereft.

Ah! Then...could I this hour in fragments break,
And mold the shattered chards into mosaic
Of lasting color, that would hold the rays
Of passing suns, and gleam through darker days!

This is great!
I was swept along with
the flow of your words.

To hold again
the past acute
wonder if slicing
through hands unfolded

your words made me ponder such

If we sometimes could only turn back time or just hold still in that precious moment, where you exactly know:" This here is so wonderful but fleeting, dust in time."

Memory is a cruel quality of the brain at times.

I love your poem and was moved by the expression of unquenched longing. Have been there myself.

Thanks,Bee.
