They
all come here
With
such common bonds
Pain,
confusion frustration
They
all come here clinging
We
all feel the clinging
The
frustration of asking
What
are we clinging to?
What
won’t we let go of?
What
are we afraid of
That
life may be bringing?
The
leaf clings to the tree
Just
as we cling to thee
The
tree itself is dead
Just
as we inside ourselves
Our
filled with dread
The
snow is covering the leaf
Just
as the confusion is
Covering
our souls deep within
A
cold harsh winter is swirling about
Just
as our hearts have been turned to stone
We
are clinging
Hanging
on so tight
with
much fright
The
leaf is slowly falling
Falling
to the ground
Our
lives too our falling
Each
at our own pace
What
they can’t see
And
I did not for a long time
Is
that by clinging the pain will continue
But
to let go
Is
the start of a new leaf
Just
as the leaf on the tree let’s go
A
bud will soon blossom
Into
a new beginning
Just
as you will blossom
As
you discover yourself
The
snow will melt
As
the season changes
As
your heart will start to warm aglow
When
you allow your inner self to
flow
When
you discover that you
deserve
so much more
You
will see the new beginnings within
You
will begin to have new life
Just
as the leaf will that I captured on
This
cold snowy day…
