To Let Go

How hard is the letting go when it’s all you know
Shadows under ice
   One
      Wrong
          Step
             Cracks become fissures to fall through
Shadow black eyes
     No 
        Sleep
          Tonight
                Dark steps pacing in the shadow-land
Despair a choke-hold
    Run
       Let
           Go

Some people and I will not include me because it is obvious to anyone who knows me that it does include me - have a difficult time letting go. I had to let go of something today that I did not realize I wash holding on to. Not my choice, and I had to take a nap to get over it and let it go. And I had to change my attitude a little bit. I think I am ready now. This poem is so well done, Jeanne. Perfect!

I think taking a nap is a great idea to reset an attitude...I'll try that next time!
