Beauty in the dying leaves


I feel I am…
Changing as the leaves
Beautiful trees of green
Growing and being useful
Then change comes in hardship
A time of challenge
Or time of sorrow
Feeling death of parts of me
Only to see the color of each leaf
With the change comes beauty
Genuine beauty
Changes in my life requires me to let go
Let go of the dying parts
Let go of what isn’t useful anymore
Let go of what I thought would be
Accepting the change
Seeing the beauty of it
Waiting for what is to come
As I let go of the dying so
the  new in me
Can start to grow.
