Letting Go

Letting Go

Delighted and excited

I dive into the flow

Of life that calls

So clearly now,

Inviting to let go

Of all the fears from all the years

That kept me on the shore,

Watching ever-longingly

The ever-passing flow

Of other lives so different,

And so new

That I could not image them

To be within the view

Of what could possibly be true

For my mundane and boring life

To become something new,

The endless possibilities

Were all for you

not me,

And clinging tight with all my might

No risk of sight or sweet delight

Was ever worth the taking,

Until the day I realized

The differences that kept me from the flow

Were bonds of my own making,

Letting go

To join the flow

Was all I had to do….

To see the me in you.
