We could let go.

We could belong to something less
than the confines of this
love.

There is always more to see with
our eyes closed.

We are not hindered by the
blindness of sight.

We could let go within this
darkness.

We could surrender to the
thousand little deaths
the day presents.

Only nothing will ever last
forever.

And even this...seeks something
to become.

We could be this -

We could be the rain drying in
the instant death of
land.

We could be the drop...that reaches
for the ocean.

We could nourish...or we could
drown.

We could let go.

And find out who we
really are.

Yes..we could let go...but it is a frightening feeling...although exciting, right?

Much enjoyed Eric!

--so profound.

Lovely write, Dear Eric!

As the saying goes: "Let go and let God!"

And that is exactly what I am doing,  letting go to find out who I am! The release comes through my words.

Gee, I was just talking about this to someone this morning...are you reading minds or eaves dropping?  LOL

Love this, Eric.

God Eric - this is just brilliant
you have no idea how much this means to me

We could nourish...or we could
drown.

We could let go.

And find out who we
really are.

I think the only way to belong is to be able to let go.

The surrender is the most difficult part
Very romantic, gave me shivers. TD

Dear Eric, your outstandingly beautiful poetry increases always my energy vibrations ...

We could let go ... could we?

And if I was the ocean
I would know you
as the little drop
joining me ...

and if I was the Earth
I would feel the spot
where you fell ...

we are the drop and the ocean
the drop and the Earth

we are the
dancing molecules
and the Universe,
infinitely small
and
infinitely vast.
Forever to last.

That's who we are.

I love you. Margherita

your graceful words always reach the pit of my stomach. when we have to let go, it is so sad, but it doesnt have to mean goodbye, does it. your words help me find who i really am you know. you bring to life what is real, making the saddest of things, so beautiful.

thanks ericc.

Aahhhh...dear Gem...there are no goodbyes.
Our separations take place only in the mind. The heart knows only union.
This is the holiest spot.
Were we meet.

Use the mind...but always Think...with the heart.
It knows.

Love,
Eric

waiting patiently our arrival
