Leaves

Leaves

They fall, feelings diminish and babies grow.

All obvious life moments.

All not the same.

It's not a game

Losing a loved one.

Losing a part of yourself.

Missing a piece of your past.

Then you think to yourself... why is the future there.

Growth is such a sadistic reality.

Everyone wants to grow but that's also why it's called growing pains.

It's not a game.

Life is worth living.

Until that last sweet second you hold on.

You prosper even if you don't feel every step.

It's not always three steps back.

Sometimes the reward is in the leaves.

They grow and fall to make room for new ones.

Renew.
