I let go
/I sat by the river
Collecting my thoughts
Pulling out all the things that were lurking deep inside
I sat there alone for a long time
Listening to the sound of the water rush by
The voices of nature eased the words from my soul
For to long I have been gripping these things tightly
Things that no longer served me
Things that were not mine to own in the first place
I knew it was time to bid them farewell
But I also wanted to honor and thank them
They were each their for me in the moments I needed them
So I let my pen do the talking
Naming each of them and giving them praise
Showing my gratitude for what I learned during our encounter
Then with love I said my goodbyes
Letting them know that they were off on another journey
Destine to find someone else that needed them
I did what I had to do
To heal this piece of me
I let go
