This is in response to Sadje’s Weekly Photo Prompts on #Whatdoyousee

Oh ! Please do not let me go

With tears in my eyes

With heart brimming with doubt

With lips quivering with words unsaid

With faltering steps

With thoughts not yet unburdened

With trembling breath

Oh! Please wait

Give me some more time

To weave a few more tales

To smile a little longer

To love a little deeper

To sing a song sweeter

To make myself lighter

To know that those younger

Will remember me in quieter

Moments of life walking by the shore

Of a tide calmer and waves gentler

Let me go then with lesser doubt

A fearless heart , a stilled mind

Which knows rather than believes

That I was always loved and

Remembered when the days were darker

And life much less easier

    The longing for just ‘a little more time’ to love deeper and weave more tales resonates so deeply. The transition from the fear of leaving to finding a ‘fearless heart’ at the end is just beautiful. A truly heartfelt piece.
