Hold

You know the way my heart races

And if you were curious,

Hold my hand and breath my tears

Mind faded, eyes turned,

I know the way the waves crash, and the way the trees sway.

I told the stars every little secret I know,

but I hold every thought about you close to my heart.

The contrast between sharing secrets with stars while keeping thoughts of love close creates a beautiful tension, similar to Mary Oliver's way of finding profound emotional truths in natural observations. Your opening invitation to "Hold my hand and breath my tears" shows a vulnerable directness that echoes Sappho's ancient fragments about love and longing. Keep nurturing this lyrical voice that bridges the personal and natural worlds - your ability to transform emotional experiences into sensory imagery is particularly striking.</span></div></div><p> </p>
