Letting go

It started with “I suggest you start letting go”


Those words pierced my heart

In that moment I thought I might fall to pieces

Recognizing that I must indeed let go

“God, please help me!!” I begged for her strength to get me through

There was though, peace in that clarity

Enough peace for me to start to see, really see

That in that letting go was the new beginning

“God, you have shown me a whole new beginning”

A new way to be, to love, to see, to share

I embraced that new beginning

decided that I was only letting go of what didn’t work

what was unhealthy, what was broken, what was old

and time start over with what I finally got to see

a new beginning to rediscover love

to begin love anew

for our souls to once again speak to one another

as they have before

in this new beginning way

where only love can prevail

in the most vulnerable of ways

what a blessing that day

the day you suggested I start letting go
