Letting Go – Melanie Gillies

Oh, my tree friends, how you teach me
from your lofty perspective, how to be free
of worries and fears and dis-ease and woes
that we harbor and cherish and won’t let go.

Your leaves simply blow away
and with the wind, dance and play.
No strings attached
to bring them back.

You allow the new to emerge and be
your ever changing, changeless reality.
