A Falling Leaf

Today a leaf came down to greet me Falling gently on a breeze With intentions of reminding me Of the things I must release

Nature teaches of life's cycles
when to cling and when to fall
There is a time for every season And solace if we hear the call

Letting go is not easy
We may need more than the breeze
graceful falling takes practice
Takes lessons from the leaves

A human mind is found often yearning
for some past or future day but opening to stillness allows a more fulfilling way

We cannot control our seasons and grasping only brings more grief
let us settle for the moment
Like a fallen leaf

Latrodectus

@Latrodectus

Hi, I'm Latrodectus, but you can call me Lat. I'm 14 and I love to write. I write at least 1 or 2 times a week and write everything from acrostics to opinion posts (and everything in-between) I'm also writing my first ever book/full story "The Darkworld Chronicles." I write to help find myself and who I really am and to help me deal with life's problems and stresses. I like drawing, acting, singing and gymnastics but don't like algebra, sport or swimming. My interests vary wildly (as do my works) and I feel it gives me some variety. Thanks for reading this, have fun in my world of writing :) ~Lat

Let Go

Sit down and relax. Let my mind state drift. To a place that's much less taxed. To a place thats full of bliss. Where I can reminisce. Under suns eclipse. Of many precious gifts.

You Are You And I Am Me

Inspiration to page, Thought after rage. Emotion before reason, Objectivity treason. Three words can make me cry, Express darkest fears. Verbose explosions can make me sigh, Bore me to tears.

I Am An Instrument

I am a single instrument. Playing a solo symphony. I am wonderful. My melody makes you awe and smile. Because I am brave to admit that I am a single instrument.

Magnolia

Our time is magnolia;. Flakes of furling peace. Cream in the sun. Cupped heaven. Reaching them's the struggle -. Through twisted branch or bough. Around the knotted skin of life.
