Surrender Like the Tree Leaf
At some time
hopefully
you will give up
knowing you have no control over anything
but your thoughts,
at some point
you will let go of all resistance.
It’s just as if you are the last leaf
on a dead tree
you know you can do nothing
to help the tree flourish,
but you are holding on for all your life,
hoping that what is
will change and that you alone can change it
but you cannot
you only have control
of when you really want
to accept and surrender.
Your residence has left you clinging
to false perceptions, false thoughts, false beliefs,
a false reality
a false you.
Just let go, give up
and you will be the green leaf
that will fall,
but never touch that ground
that your fear alone thought
wanted to kill you.
