letting go

does not mean

not caring

not pursuing

not doing

 

there is a sweet

scariness in surrender

it helps you mature

by doing so

repeatedly

 

you finally see

what is real

and what is not,

what you need

and what isn’t healthy

to release control of

 

but you’ll never know

by holding everything tight

and you’ll never know

by releasing everything to the wind

 

the great spirit

needs you to walk

to test, to try

to turn away

and return again

to find your stride

your pace

your temporary place

for a suspended time

in this world
