A Kind Of Letting Go

Vice like grip unseen yet tight
Pressure building through the night
It bends the light distorts the sound
A silent storm where pain is crowned

My temples pulse in steady aches
Like thunder’s growl before it breaks
Yet in its grip a lesson found
My mind is strong though pain is bound

Then comes relief in a soft embrace
A quiet calm with a slower pace
Verde eases weight and strain
A gentle hand on tethered pain

The mind exhales, the body sighs
Like golden light in smoky skies
A softened world in a peaceful glow
Letting my weary spirit flow
