Letting go

Never letting go, yet forever falling

Falling like raindrops through the night, they turn to embers on the page

Wandering through a forest of sleeping shadow, seeking light amid the dark

Whispering secrets to the wind, among trees of ancient yew

Sinking through waterfalls of gentle sun under leaves of red and gold

Light a candle of mist and dance into the twilight sky

Taste the wonder of glittering gems, sparkling in caverns below

And run free, forever free

Like the winds, flowing through worlds of soaring dust

Like the waves, swirling through the oceans of time

Calming like the silence of a frozen lake and trickle of a moonlit stream

Blazing like the gleam of emerald fires and the spark of a gathering storm

Solemn as the winds, singing songs from a thousand years ago

And warm as a joyous family hearth on a cold lonely night

Walk the fading paths out into the waking dawn and find happiness, just by

Forever letting go, yet never falling
