Letting Go

Letting Go I released my problems with exhausted breathlessness as if helium was the magic ingredient. A secret whisper with years of frustrations entering each colored balloon. Up they go one by one with a wisp of my breath each one floating on clouds of fate and hope. The breezy feeling of it all comparable to that of a refreshing shower washing my troubles down the drain. Anointed beads of forgiveness beat gently on my face. Each delicate vessel holds a different pain. A distinguishable emotion that has caused me distress, anxiety, misery , sorrow. I let them go filled with doubt and heavy heart, freeing me from disillusions that have held me captive. What a daunting task for these fragile creatures filled with my manifestations of anguish. Some may make their way back down to me from time to time , that’s life. Now I close my eyes breath in then out filling my spheres of freedom, cross my fingers and then ………. LET GO !!!!!!!!
