There is a time for letting go.
To purge and simplify.
Casting forward once beloved things.
Enriching someone else’s treasure store.

Time to love the sunbeam’s light
Streaming bright as jewels.
Bird-song concert, flowers’ canvas.
Nature’s treasures free of any charge.

Days to be at peace in seat-worn chair passed down.
Soft lighted lamp welcomes the fall of night.
Cup of tea for body’s warmth and cheer.
Comfort now a gift beyond compare.

     Thanks. I liked it especially. It began as a long prose story that I made disappear somehow. I didn’t feel like starting all over and out poured this short bit of poetry.
