Let It Go

The ember in November, not too hot nor cold has lit up the sky Can we let go of grudges and prejudices, as we must try As leaves fall from the trees creating a carpet of golden memories Nature teaches us it’s time to let go and recharge our batteries If youth and beauty want to leave us behind, let’s not fret let it go For our smiles like the moon will light up our face pleasantly so On a bed of yellow and red, I walk with my head held high The same colours now reflecting in the sky. The Autumn air cool on my face My tears of hurt and pain have left without a trace For like the leaves fall to the ground leaving the trees naked and bare Even this body we call our own will leave us behind and all of whom we care. 23.11.2020 Rhy-me Poetry Contest.
