decay

holding on

to

letting go

while decay

is decomposing

and autumn

gloriously

unfolding

severed

when the connection

to creativity

has been severed

the source of inspiration

is running dry

leaving space for imagination

to overrule creation

acts

when our acts and words

spring out of fear

only destruction

can be

the result of it

though

on the other side of fear

is a grace to be found

beyond

what any imagination

is able to provide

ignored

when looking bright

on the future

means

not facing the obstacles

of the present

the present is

lost

the past ignored

the future disrupted

lesson

wakening just before dawn

observing how the light

dissipates so delicately

and full of tenderness

every shadow of the night

is a delightful lesson

of life
