  I held her hand
  she held my heart

  I  asked her
  If the leaves
  Gave thought
  Of the branches

  She asked
  Do the branches
  Respect the leaves

  I asked
  Can one thrive
  Without the other

  She said
  I am here
  Loose your thoughts
  And I will open
  Like a leaf

  She asked
  Will you be
  Strong and supple
  As a branch

  She said
  Remember
  In the fall
  I must move on

  I said
  I shall save your spot
  Until spring
  Will you return

  She said
  Nay
  Such is life
  But we may share
  For a season

  I said
  You gather the light
  And feed me
  I will draw from the earth
  And feed thee
  Such is life
  For a season
  We are one

  I held her heart
  She held my hand

Love the analogy...and it speaks of a contentment of NOW. Welcome to Passions...where you just may discover a forest!

it was love that first drew me,
it is love that will keep me here...
now I see love burning brightly
when everything else is unclear...

I truly like the style of your writing here...and I can very much to relate to a barren spring. Well done and welcome!

Welcome to Passions, Daniel! An excellent analogy....of what may only pass by once, in a life's time...

Beautiful! I think this is my favorite verse.
