Letting go
of all I can’t quite
figure out,
I toss the pieces up
or lay them down
gently,
trusting them
to come back
a little at a time
in the present moment,
in a way that is
just enough.

Where Words Couldn’t Go
I vowed to hold
all that appeared
for as long as it took,
to keep my focus
on what was
most real and true.
And ever so softly,
letting go
of unneeded pieces,
holding on
to the subtle messages
only my heart understood,
I crossed over
to the place
where quiet whispers
carried me —
where words couldn’t go.
Again and Again
And so I allowed
the surface
to remain unsettled —
letting go
of every last piece
again and again —
trusting them to return
a little slower,
a little more gently —
until I could bear
the emptiness underneath.
The Letting Go

Beautiful Surrender
I found myself
in beautiful surrender —
trusting in the unfolding
of all I didn’t quite understand,
yet sensed
ever so subtly
as gently whispered prayers
from within my deepest heart
so many times before.
Untamed
I had held
few things as pure
as the gentle whispers
of my own untamed heart.
And so I let go
a little more completely —
letting go
of all I had held
so deeply
for so long —
letting go
of each precious piece
so that it might remain
as it was already —
free.
Until There Was Nothing
I continued on —
holding and honoring
and letting go
of all that appeared
until there was nothing
I couldn’t meet
with love
and rise above.
