THE ART OF LETTING GO
First, hold on with fiendish persistence—
cling until your fingers are numb,
and knuckles turn white as clouds.
Unravel the rivulets of your heart
allowing your blood to flow freely
as you listen to liberating messages
translated from a foreign language.
Keep your eye on the horizon, and
watch he ebb and flow of the sea—
it will make you light on your feet,
and set you free as when you licked
your lips and waited for the kiss of
inspiration that will allow you to let go.
