How easy it is for trees to let go To let go of it all until bare What is it like to shed the old So naturally without a care? To be covered with a cold blank slate Teach me, how to let the old go To make room for new colours And cut off what I have outgrown Do you regret every leaf that leaves you And changes more over time Or do you relish in the weightlessness Because you are closer to your prime Do you feel empty during the season When the world lacks vibrant colours Or do you see it as your time to reflect To change yourself for the better Do you reminisce when your world was full Of different sounds, hues and beings Or do you savour in the solitude To prepare for your next beginning
