Let Go
January 19, 2022
Let go.
You've done it before.
Close your eyes
Focus on the silence
The silence that isn't silent at all
Open your hand.
Let that string float away
the balloon carrying it up and up
Long ago you would've cried as you lost your balloon
You're older now.
You can let go of your balloon
full of old worries
scrapped hopes and dreams
So let go.
