Letting Fade

 

Letting Fade.

 

Every wave of the sea owes it curved

beauty to the retreat 

of the one that precedes

*

*

and all flowers must wither to bear

seed which then loosens  

and falls to produce more blooms.     

*

*

If through attachment to the past

today cannot make room 

for tomorrow\'s happiness we may

refuse the truth that  

perpetual harmony only happens

by our letting fade

any disasters of yesterday

to better attract a happier future.
