So Delicate a Thing

So delicate a thing is this, To touch a hand, or try a kiss; Then cling to love, or let it be... To forever hold, or set it free. ~Mel

Their simplicity belies the truth contained. While it will ring true to most, their importance is usually lost until life pushes a person to make those choices. Thanks again!

Hi kiddo. This just popped in head so I figured, what the hell! I hope you and the little one are happy and well. Still writing poems you hippie? Would be fun to do a reading with bongos and black lights! Want to get freaky and do it? Be cool...xoxo...Mel
