Tangled vines on the ivy grow - <br /> Intricately vast - <br /> Twined around - <br /> As if afraid to let go - <br /> When one breaks loose from it's tongued, tangled home - <br /> It sprouts forth a leaf growing <br /> In it's own existence - <br /> At last free to roam - <br /> Let us learn by watching nature unfold - <br /> For as in all living things - <br /> We too have our time to be <br /> Knurled and knotted - <br /> We must let go - <br /> Only then can we find the <br /> Freedom to grow - <br /> To be who we are <br /> Let our stories be told -<br /><br />Bettie Lee Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-the-ivy-twines/
