Let it go

“let it go -- the

smashed word broken

open vow or

the oath cracked length

wise -- let it go it

was sworn to

go

let them go -- the

truthful liars and

the false fair friends

and the boths and

neithers -- you must let them go they

were born

to go

let all go -- the

big small middling

tall bigger really

the biggest and all

things -- let all go

dear

so comes love”

― E.E. Cummings

When we hang on to the ugly things

The hard things

The deceitful things

When we become fused with those things

That diminish

And burden

then

We

walk through life

head down

Hands closed

Heart cold

It is only when we accept things as they come

And see them for what they are

Things that are not

“me”

That we can let go

Lift up our heads

Open our arms

And find our hearts ablaze

Only then are we free

To

Love

This is how lies die

How haters are confused

How evil is overcome

This is how greed loses

And generosity wins

And power that is not power

Is consumed by

Compassion

Let it

Go

Let it all

Go

So comes love
