Story Leaves
Much like the autumn leaves
falling from the trees
Our stories, once shared,
become a release…
Slipping from the binders
of our burdens and grief
Collecting on
the hallowed ground
of friendship’s ear,
making them much lighter
when they re-appear
For with the telling
comes the dispelling
of bottled sorrow
The elixir holding
a lighter scent
when re-inhaled
Our story leaves
become the beginning
of renewing;
rejuvenating the soil
of our souls
allowing Spring
to once again
awaken in our spirit
