Hold Me Now _ Challenge # 170

 


they made a life

a blursday life

flitting

here and there

those who wander are not always lost 


he grew old

she grew up

the sadness began

reality collided with dreams

 

hold me now

warm my heart

stay with me


hold me now

time is short

stay with me

until the end

  1. How many hearts were broken in our teen years as we played the courting game. Curiously a few still were in contact many years later which was strangely comforting for an old widower!

  2. A familiar story, Rall, sad but often true.

  4. Stellar music ... chills (the good ones) to begin my day. Hold me now, warm my heart, stay with me .... all we need. A most beautiful poem.

  5. There is something extra intriguing in the first two lines of the second stanza. The statements leave me wanting to know more about the people involved, learn more about how getting old affect him and what growing up did for her.

  6. Very nice, although such a sad feeling it give off to me. I think the thought of a blursday life, how fast it goes, and you may not even notice until it's too late. I've been feeling that way as I get older, while my husband didn't get a chance to get old (he died at 47).

  7. I loved the tick-tock rhythm of the song. It was as if the poem featured a failed relationship, and a plea to save a second. Quite touching.
