Poem -
Hold the Petals When the Wind Blows
Walk softly, otherwise you crush my dreams,
Speak softly, do not disturb my feelings,
they are as vital as the air I breathe,
Without love, life is a mere tick of the clock
and the heartbeat, just a sound lost inside the chest.
Hear me, feel me…the sentiment is yours to cultivate.
Go gentle into the night and awake with an open heart,
for, when the last breath leaves your pallid face,
the only thing worth was the days you let yourself
ignite the feelings you were born with but somehow,
let fall like petals when the wind blows.
Walk softly, speak gently, love deeply, be like a river.
—Bernadete vdw, ‘25

Title, excellent. I like a long title.
The none rhyme, love that.
And perfectly unmistakably
The voice of the heart of a woman.
Your sensibility is much appreciated, Rory. B
What a gentle soothing flow this has B... it asks nothing of the reader but to read breath and let go. Beautiful x
Hi Marion! I love the way you see this. Thank you for your kind words.
Warm wishes from B
Wonderful people are both strong and gentle. Lovely Poem.
Thank you Jac for your kind words. All the best, B
Beautifully crafted Bernadete. Reading this I feel as much sadness and loss, along with the struggle to thoroughly maintain self control and direction or purpose as I do opportunity and caution for the fragile nature of this ephemeral life. Again great work .
Dear Poet,
I wish this write would evoke nostalgia rather than sadness, and I am sorry for causing sadness.
You’re maintaining direction and purpose, you are an wise soul.
Take good care of yourself, Ian.

Reminds me of pocahontas, "just around the river bend"
Beautiful poetry Bernadete.
Hi Nine Eleven,
