A taut thread stretched between then and now 🕰️,
Where memories cling like the dew upon a fragile leaf 🌱,
Each droplet a weight, a whisper, vow 💕,
A moment held, in joy and grief 😔.
Fingers curl around that which is known, secure 🤗,
Comfort in what's been, fear of that which is new 😟,
Yet the wind calls softly,...
