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 !!!!!!!!
