Let Go

Let Go

Why do you hang on

So stubbornly

The nights are cooling

Who are you fooling

Let Go

The host tree is almost bare

Save for you

The winds are blowing

You act all knowing

Let Go

The golden leaves have fallen

You’re still there
Hanging on so very tight
Staying vigilant all night

Let Go

The cold north wind arrived
You’re brown and shriveled
Solitary soldier of the tree
You’d be happier if free

Let Go

Spring arrives with bluster

A spider’s web sustains you
New growth is on the way
Why is it that you stay

Let Go
