tightly


there's a little yellow flower
beside the river

hugging the ground so closely to itself -
a hope fulfilled
in the dance of its subtle body

the slender fingers of a breeze
draw across its flowered lips

my words and eyes
drift across its tenderness

we are lost to each other
in so many different ways

The losing is part of nature. But we have these moments of holding, which are the more precious then.

The photograph holds so much and your words express the poetry within it.
