gently letting go of the summer light,
one leaf at a time.

what stays is not the season,
but the words we held onto.

Tonight's stack: Zola — Chefs d'Oeuvre, Trollope — Doctor Thorne & The Warden.

"In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you." — Buddha

Encouraged by Paul Laurence Dunbar:
Because you love me I have much achieved, Had you despised me then I must have failed, But since I knew you trusted and believed, I could not disappoint you and so prevailed.

Still learning the three things: how to be read, how to be skimmed, how to be put down gently and picked up again later.
What are yours? #poeticexpressions
