awaken

>>




the last leaf falters
breaks
is swept away by the wind

the bare tree frozen
remains
waits helplessly for winter to pass

and i had forgotten

lost

back in the flurry of events

forgot that sometimes

only when you let it break away

then can the heart remain alive

and what was lost will be more than regained

the spring sun emanates
light
awakening the first new leaf

now i remember

why

i am still here
