The Hurdle




As I walk towards the vines entwined across the fence, I remember how we curled up in love on the moist grass that rainy afternoon, tears exchanged with the tip of our tongues as we bathed in the fragrance of pristine serenity.

We disobeyed the fence at times, stealing long awaited celestial moments with the stars invading our privacy.

However, we never made promises; rather, we walked our separate ways, either side of the white fence, that symbolized the barrier that had always existed between us.

The fence stands majestically even today. Can I cross the hurdle one last time?

  11. Dear Green Speck,
    You presented some lovely imagery in the piece. You may correct me if I'm wrong but I saw the fence, the hurdle, as a symbol of commitment. Nice writing in any case.
    Shalom,
