Pear
If I offer you a pear,
I am offering you, my silence.
If I suggest you taste the sweet tinged
with bitterness at the core,
I am turning my back
on your progression.
If I take the time to slice the pear,
and present it beautifully,
I am struggling
with my decision
to let you go.
And as I carefully
arrange the pieces
on a plate
To look like a flower
I will hand it to you
With sadness and gratitude
As I gently ask you
To leave my life.
Let go of what does not serve you.
Thank you for reading. I appreciate your time. Many Blessings.

This is such a tender way of expressing the kind of goodbye that’s full of love and sadness at the same time. The imagery is stunning. Thank you for this
This one literally took my breath away for a few seconds. I’m not sure I’ll ever look at a pear the same way again. Thank you, Dorie!
