Let Go of the Rope

Let go of the rope my tethered friend
Your holding on to a futile end.

For if you fall what’s the consequence?
But if never tried life won’t make sense.

And if you try and don’t succeed 
You just may find its all you need.

See God is in the nothingness
Where pain resides along with bliss.

Its up to us to find the strength
And see what all this life is meant.

So take a fall, get up again 
And leave that world of bogeymen.

great message!!! The bogeymen do not really exist except in our mind and it's all about controlling our minds with positive energy!

Hi Shaz, the Welcome is very welcomed : ) Thank You for the positive feedback, i've been apprehensive with sharing since I am new to writing and not sure how it will be taken. Bur writing brings me comfort since my wife passed 6 months ago from cancer. Thanks for making me feel welcomed. I will check out your poems
