dead leaves

dead leaves

why do you still cling to the trees?

it has been months since The Fall,

the sweet surrender of it all,

yet you never did let go

of the trees you used to know

you only swayed

When God’s breath tried to take you away

you questioned Him for His reason

but it was to protect you from the coldest season

now the Ice fills your veins,

but let it not become like chains

for your sake, let go, please

just like the other leaves

embrace this death

and be promised a New Breath.

for the branches you still cling to

will never again give you color or make you new.

so dead leaves

why do you still cling to the trees?
