I watch the trees shedding leaves
As I silently shed my old self;
Reinvention is a necessity
From time to time.
I let go of my old beliefs
That're inhibiting my growth;
The glory of autumn enthralls me
The absolute magnificence in pain
Inspired, I mirror the season
Unafraid to let go.

I love the illustration that reinforces your comparisons. And this is a song of triumph to me to be "Unafraid to let go." I feel joy in the cycle of change.
ReplyDeleteLetting go is an essential part of growth - well expressed
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing! So many people are afraid of letting go--but not you!
ReplyDeleteAs unafraid to let go as the falling leaves, which know they are dying into new possibility. Sigh. Wonderfully wise.
ReplyDeleteI like the comparison of the trees shedding leaves to the way we shed our selves. Nature continually invents itself, and so indeed should we!
ReplyDeleteLetting go is something most of us arew afraid but when we dare how beautiful and free it feels. What a great poem this is Purba.
ReplyDelete'The absolute magnificence in pain' Yes, and once we realise it that beauty is ours to keep forever. So deep and inspirational dear, love it :)
ReplyDeleteThat's the only way to live well--following Nature's dance, unafraid of being exactly who we are.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautifully true, Purba.
