Calm … quiet … serene
is the scene
Lush … green … gentle
in the woods
One brown leaf
finally falls
under the swelter of summer
after having held on
a bit too long
through autumn and winter
Sometimes it’s best
in life
to relinquish your grip
when the pressure
of the past
becomes overwhelming
Sometimes the rope
slices hands
if you don’t let go
when the ghost
on the other side
has already vanished
Soft … silent … resting
is the heart
Open … ready … smiling
for new seasons
