Letting Go

As it all turns and falls

Let me sit with the mystery
of each brave branch
holding tight to each changing leaf
then letting go with a sigh
as it all turns and falls.

Let me walk with the understanding
of each longing leaf
floating to the waiting Autumn soil
then decomposing with a sigh
as it nourishes new growth.

Courage
