I Let Go |

I let go - And give myself to you. There is a grace in letting go. As the air turns crisp, clear, the autumn leaf hears the inner calling of its very own nature - "Let go...let go ' and refusing to cling, the leaf is carried gently on a breeze. And always love has called to me, beckoning from the edge - "Let go...let go" and always I have cried, "Not yet" "Not yet" and clinging as a leaf out of season, I have been battered by life's winter storms. Yet now my life unfolds as a new season - The air is crisp and clear. I hear the wind whisper, "Let go...let go" and refusing to cling, I let go. And I am carried by love's gentle breeze.

What a sweet, lovely breeze of a poem. I love the imagery in your words, and the emotion within. The fear is in the letting go- yet, once you've let go, there is beautiful peace. Wonderful write. Love, Moca |

You surely show the grace that lies in letting go .... Beautiful. I just see an autumn leaf dancing its last dance with infinite grace ... towards peace. Love, Margherita |

I so want "sir" to read "air" and yet... a surreal quality if I apply the word sir, to Sir... Thank you Ericc, for a lovely read... |
