Poetry Thursday, Let it go edition (not Disney)

Alaska 2008

I think of the trees 

and how simply they let go, 

let fall the riches of a season, 

how without grief (it seems) 

they can let go and 

go deep into their roots 

for renewal and sleep.... 

Imitate the trees. 

Learn to lose in order to recover, 

and remember that nothing 

stays the same for long, 

not even pain, psychic pain. 

Sit it out. 

Let it all pass. 

Let it go.
