It’s Time
Sheltered in the consistency of daily events,
Now in this season of changes. It’s,
Time to let go,
Time to shed skin,
Let the old leaves fall,
So, the new ones have a place to come in.
Sheltered in the comfort of what I thought permanent
Now in this season of changes, It’s,
Time to let go,
Time to move on,
Let these old people fade,
So, I have time to meet new ones.
Sheltered in the conformity of those around me and,
Now in this season of changes. It’s,
Time to let go,
Time to to break free,
Let these cracks run through the mold,
So, I have proof that all that I have, am, and will give up,
Is collateral for growth.

Letting go can be difficult and the poem captures the cathartic effects of doing so beautifully.
thanks for the compliment. I wrote this as catharsis right before i broke up with my girlfriend it helped calm me down before i dropped the bad news. thanks for reading
Love.

This is beautiful : letting myself go is something I should do more often … Thanks for sharing these beautiful words and for following my blog ! Greetings from a Leo girl from Marseille, France !
Thanks. I’m glad to hear some love from France. Merci (thats to most i remember from middle school french classes)
Wow, this is very timely for me- I’ve just recently been able to remember letting go after years of holding on to ‘old leaves’. But we are LIVING. We do NOT stay stagnant! To do so is to be dead in body.
The seasons change, and no life is complete until what we understand as ‘death’ itself comes. Nothing to be feared or mourned. (although it does still hurt and we miss those close to us who’s time comes before ours.)
I happened to clink this link after being notified you liked my blog post on Black & White entitled Masochist’.
Which I was only able to post after years of having it hidden in the corner of an old notebook for several years. I see a connection there. But perhaps it’s just me, anyway,
THANKS for checking out my post. I’m new to this and don’t have a lot of time to work on networking like I want to. Glad you liked that post of mine and I’ll be checking out more of your stuff!

“Let the old leaves fall, so…” Memorable line.

Beautiful piece. I definitely needed this; thank you : )
You’re Very Welcome :D!
this is good stuff. i know its just a written work but about half way through i could hear a beat with the reading. keep up the effort.
that’s probably reminiscent of the songs I was listening to. thanks for stopping by.
For Leo Rex ~ May you continue to amaze!
Time had stopped and stood so still,
Moving on not such a thrill.
Heart to heart and hand to hand,
Time restarts throughout the land.
So we meet and merry part,
Good to have this heart to heart.
Thank you, going through my own hell’s of letting go! Time … to spackle those cracks in the mold!

It is time to move on, move forward, leave the past, present behind and your future alone. Focus on a new you, a better you, the true you. When you are OK, so then will you be able to help, teach and elevate others, even as you doing you.

To hold, or let go; a fork in the road of life…
Does what’s yet in front, or what’s left behind,
Escape the greater strife?
Those are the questions of our lives. Beautiful triplet you left. Thanks for stopping by

Impermanence and the sense of renewal !
I love it. I feel exactly the same in January.
Also, Thanks for following my blog !
Right it feels good to have a change.
Have you ever tried Haiku? It is a very challenging art form and a great mental exercise. leave it to the japanese to come up with something that is both simple and complex.
I might take a stab at it because I haven’t done one since high school
This is great! Very beautiful :)
“Collateral for growth”- I really like that term and will remember it. I also really liked the steady, confident striding rhythm of the poem. In fact, I enjoyed it very much- not only in form but in content too. It very much resonates with me!
Thanks im glad some of the lines stuck with you. I hope to get some credit for coining some new idioms and phrases * mischievous face* glad you could enjoy the read. thanks for stopping by

Great! Love it! I especially like the imagery, and symbolism with things in nature. thanks for sharing
“…all that I have, am, and will give up is collateral for growth.” Thank you for giving words to wisdom.
Yes, letting go is a yin yang activity, isn’t it? We have to remember this when it happens. Doing so w ill save us a lot of grief.
You could say that since it involves the balance of emotions. so I’d say it’s a yin yang activity. thanks for stopping by to read my poems
Yes. When we learn to die in this body, and start living in the spirit, even in life, we have learned to walk away from anything. We have to learn this first. Correct. According to St. Paul also.
Thanks for the wisdom on the my comments. hope you visit again
I’m in this situation and caught both fear and hope. Thanks for visit and your message.
you’re welcome and i hope you overcome your situation 1000000x stronger
Love this…would love to “let myself go” though others may disagree ;-)

This is so true and you could easily expound on this for ages.
Amazing! We all go through universal experiences and I’m connecting with your well thought poetic songs.
