Is time but a reference
to prey and confound

Letting Go

Grimacing faces
With teary-eyed composure
Look out together
At their capped and gowned daughter,
Happy, yet sad, both know why.

Letting Go

Incense meanders
Weaving a bridge of prayers
Here, your whispered vows,
Resonate like dull echoes,
In the canyons of your grief.

In fear of your abandon,
afraid of letting go

Alone and feeling stranded,
bereft—no kindness shown

On Being Untidy

The more I let go of
these tiresome soul struggles,
the should haves,
the should bes, 
the more it is possible,
to be messy and
alive.

as gust trickles on asphalt 

ruffling umbrellas ---

fingers in coiled position

Alas my life has lapsed 
as my fingertips lose their grasp 
letting go of life 
and the many things 
I had searched for 
but never found

The Art of Letting Go


A leaf lets go mild,
moving down through brilliant shine~
no war, no regret.
Even parting has its joy,
when the weather knows its time.

Letting Go

With every new belief,
you have to let something go

Each thought self-entitled
—to reap what it sows

we are yet babes in the arms of our parents
always wanting their attention,
always seeking their help,
never letting go 
till their souls rest in heaven

I'Ve Decided To Stay

Let me in or let me go
Letting go is hard to know
Let me hear or let me hold
Letting love show the way
Please do not walk away
I’ve decided to stay

Fall

old leaves are falling
sailing, reluctant, kiss death
the fragile air breaks 
healing hearts are letting go
love letters, clutched until now

Letting go

There should never be 
a time of a happiness 
life is full of experiences 
adventures 
and journeys 
people need to live 
and let go 
of their sorrows

Take Time

Swim like a goldfish; Just revel in letting go. It does us all good To take time to play, relax; The stressed mind can be stubborn.

Who Leads

I lead and you
watch my back –
or I can follow
humbly taking turns;

It is not about ego
but about the greater
good – about letting go
and letting God....

Not Letting Go

Small hands hold secure
Not wanting to let it go.
Fearful of losing
What I may never obtain,
You take it and I will cry.

Moving on is a process.
 Letting go is a action,

 This is drifter will.

Love's City Limits

Love’s city limits

Hands still warm but letting go

Stars sparkle in tears

Glimmering eyes say goodbye

I should not have let you go

Untitled #11 / Latching On and Letting Go

Latching on and letting go,
the maddening draught and the soothing rainfall,
the sunrays and the moonbeams
the river flows forever forward
Be 
carried
with
it.

Joy I Felt At Knowing Her

Joy I felt at knowing her
Despair came along with love
Tomorrows shall be naught of her, 
And with it, grief.

How come I want none of the liberation
Letting go brings?
