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
