When in Winter

Letting Go

By Charmaine GaoiranPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

Seasons come and go

The leaves changes colors

Falls down and covers the ground

Waiting for the winter snow

There, I left my heart in winter

There, on a cold winter season it’s warm and beating

There, it bleeds bright red on a snow caped trees

There, on that glimmering crystals of icicles

There, I left my heart frozen in time

As I waved goodbye

But with hopeful prayers

That I may be back again

And hold it back in my arms

And hide it back inside my chest

Where its home will be waiting

But season changed to spring

Where new love sprout and blossom

My heart was abandoned in winter

It turned cold and dry

When it stopped beating

In the middle of the hot summer under the raging sun

Preyed on by the scavenging sparrows

Ravens hungry in sorrow

It stopped

Silently in agony

I’m back in autumn

Driving down this old familiar road

As the leaves falls down the ground

My tears wells down

Washing down

Stripping down

All the emotions of longing and despair

Letting go of my heart

From the prison of memories that’s been left behind

Setting it free where I last had it whole

Back in winter after fall…
