| THE EMBRACE |
| Countless tiny feathers, the new snow falls: a white blanket flaoting down over the land. without clinging or grasping it holds onto the earth not letting go, even as it fades away. Such a definition graces no dictionary's page, yet an embrace means all that and more. each person expresses it in their own way; drawing another in, a firm yielding hold on life. A downward glance reveals two awkward tools that exude the glassy eyes and quivering lips as well as any face. such power delivered through even the frailest limb. A picture is worth a thousand words, but an embrace is worth a thousand pictures; a gallery of emotion available literally, at the tip of the fingers. A rare creature, this embrace like an endangered species: gone far too soon to really appreciate it and then only regrets remain. Find it. Get it. Keep it. Never let go of the embrace. |
