This Time....

Inevitable, irreversible, incontrovertible
The letting go
Like the change of season

One must grow up somehow, no?
As the flyleaf may wither
The ponderous march 

Silent, slow, statusque
Like the images 
that are left 

Do they ever go away?
Creased veins on a tree
Naked, chipped raw by age

Pretend, pander, portend
Obfuscated cracks
Yawned into a chasm

I walked away,
but the trail billows
Count my tread
It needs a shadow

  1. The art of letting go,
    gained through suffering intense,
    satisfies the master hence

    The marks they never leave,
    grow faded day by day,
    and feel lighter with every stroke
