Letting Go


A blaze of color
as you cling to
your familiar tree,
before you curl up,
fall to the ground, blow away.
Your message to me
in this autumn
of my life,
when one most wants
to hold on:
instead,
the traveler's path~
Let go.
Let go.

Spring Solstice

For some time, now,
Traveler has been
watching the days lengthen,
welcoming the
extra light,
morning and evening,
putting
behind her
the difficult winter,
which has birthed
the beginning
of her next journey.

Now comes
the putting away
of the old
and
the welcoming
of the new.

Now comes
increased ease,
and Possibility.

What gestated
all winter,
bathed
in her tears,
now brings
to fruition
all that was
making its
difficult passage.

Traveler
sets aside
what no longer
serves her.
She prepares
herself
with hope
and relief
for  renewal,
a lightening
of spirit.

She flows
with the emergence
of a new cycle
with trust,
with grace,
and enormous
gratitude,
knowing that
all is
as it
should be,
a time of
letting go,
a time of
stripping down,
a time of
being true
to one's own spirit
and its needs.
