Peeling off that skin

Unlike the leaves
trapped within the green
held within this life

Peeling off the skin
the yoke of the world
revealing who you are

Share your true self
your autumn colors
authentic in your walk

Share who you are
your color within
all the days of your life

Spirit Study
and idea that the green of summer is a false color,
that the true colors of the leaves are the colors of autumn
(and Cyndi Lauper’s song ran through the discussion too after I shared them)
