Art of Letting Go

The art of letting go

Is a hard one to master

Because it is one path

Worth going after

Sanity creeps away

Love disappears from sight

And all you have left

Is a feeling of fight or flight

Now you cling to the past

While you sing to the future

Wondering why nothing changes

Wondering who will heal your sutures

And as you tow the line

Between light and death

Past and future

Eternally abundant or hopelessly bereft

You realize

Life has never passed you by

You realize

It’s always been there waiting for you to release the tie

That’s kept you down

For so damn long

Trembling in fear

Through its crumbling song.

True love awaits

When you loosen the tether.

And, I understand you.

Because we birds... flock together.
