Holding Tight

HOLDING TIGHT

Flying to tree tops,
to bottom out.
Such is fleeting youth,
memories abounding.
Climbing out of myself
to recreate the scene.
Holding tight the reverie.

Who can stand to grow old?
Poets don’t have to…

Dear Kim, You have beautifully captured the echoes of Shelley's sentiment, portraying the transformative power of poetry to immortalize fleeting moments and preserve the beauty of youth. Your writing poignantly reflects the timeless allure of reverie and the eternal youthfulness found in the poet's craft. And you are a wonderful Poetess! - Blessings, Daniel
