An Airheads Complexity Part 3

Lurking with its unbidden ghost
Behind every smile
We know

“ Let go ”

There was something
Somewhere
Once long ago
That even now we all remember

It call to us
From deep, so deep
Within the memories of our soul

“Let go ”

And we ache with the longing
So whispered
Within the ageless rivers of our lives

To be once more
That which we knew

You know

Yes you do

We all do

“ Let go ”


This is why so many seek
Alternate ways to fill the question of
And why so many
Of the fleeting answers
Offer them no cause or satisfaction

And this is why
They hunger for the world 
When the world is right there before them

They cannot hear the answer

“ Let go ”

Even though it rings like a monumental BELL !
Through them

They reject the very idea
That anything
So profound
In all its implication
Could ever be

So simple 

“ LET GO ”
