you always have way with your words you tends to bend them yet they sound more than beautiful....a quite lovely yet sad poem...perfect ma'am.....bravo

A lovely yet poignant poem Stevie - love the closing stanza, just great.

This is beautiful. And this is why I love your writing. Every line is hand crafted and evokes intense emotion. Thank you for sharing. I especially liked the ending- the idea of holding a moment. Posessing it, cherishing it. There's a ray of hope there too. Like in your head you know you will find better, even while experiencing the feeling of emptiness. Also, the second stanza: I nurse my long held plans, as again I feel them die. Too often we are made to feel empty. When it happens we have to remember that eventually someone else will cradle the plans that we've nursed.

You have this skill of whisking your readers away to another world, your world, as you write. This poem caught me from the first sentence. Lovely read. Painful feelings.
