Letting Go

I
Raise
My fists
To the sky;
Open them, palms up;
Anointing them with renewed hope.


*For Brian's Sequence contest. :) Please help me choose which one to enter.

Letting go is a thing of a lot of strength....I admire that. How painful, and yet purifying....such a message, a light. Love, Sara:)

That's it! You have uplifted the message of hope with your finger tips touching God's creation. You have articulated the essence of "Pentecostal Praise." I'm staying out of this one. LOL!!! Awesome job! ~Joseph

This one is expressing a visual need for Christ's intervention, the other while very original and probably a second place winner, says just a little less with less visuals. In my opinion, I'd go with this one-AA
