Blade of Grass - Blade of Ink

If one moment only is allotted 
To us this biting autumn morning
I will cradle your wondrous leathery hand 
And lead you past a wall of shattered 
Glass and havocked recollection. Past
This wall and through a rolling field
Where bronze stalks and sleeping crickets 
Hear us travel. I will sit with you in a warm
Rug of grass and close your graying eyes
And write for you a song of two blades -
One to bring you near and one
To keep you there.

"One to bring you near and one
To keep you there."
I like the places you took me in your thoughts in the poem. A blade of grass can mean many things. Good vision create by your description. Thank you for sharing your amazing poetry. I hope to read more.

I was invited here long ago, sorry that I didn't come sooner, I am fairly glad that I waited until today. The words wouldn't have meant so much before

A splendid poem...:)....................

There is something very warm about this write...very emotional and almost heartbreaking in a way. I like the idea of this one, and I can see the blooming of a metaphor here that could be applied to many different things in life.

The grass is never greener on the other side as long as you are with the one you love. I love the shared journey between these two people, and the song of two blades. Just beautiful!

Your words are exquisite and take me on a journey of love for the one who has been with you through all yesterdays and has been kept safe by your hand, by your love, by your devotion to ensure the two of you shall travel on as you one day shall sing the song you write to remain together through time eternal!
Beautiful!! Your sentiments and your form are wonderful!!
