~~Letting Go ~~

Letting Go

 

I released my problems with exhausted breathlessness

as if helium was the magic ingredient.

A secret whisper with years of frustrations entering

each colored balloon.

Up they go one by one with a wisp of my breath each

one floating on clouds of fate and hope.

The breezy feeling of it all comparable to that of a refreshing

shower washing my troubles down the drain.

Anointed beads of forgiveness beat gently on my face.

Each delicate vessel holds a different pain.

A distinguishable emotion that has caused me distress,

anxiety, misery , sorrow.

I let them go filled with doubt and heavy heart, freeing

me from disillusions that have held me captive.

What a daunting task for these fragile creatures filled

with my manifestations of anguish.

Some may make their way back down to me from time

to time , that’s life.

Now I close my eyes breath in then out filling my spheres

of freedom, cross my fingers and then ……….

LET GO !!!!!!!!

Woooww.... Much respect to such thoughtful conception....
It was really a clever choice; thinking of depicted the entire process in details.....
I like your poem so much... I am a person who completely believes in forgiveness and all the alleviation it always brings... I also, respect your bravery- only the brave can forgive..♥
My favorite lines:-
*Each delicate vessel holds a different pain
*Some may make their way back down to me from time
to time , that’s life.
*Now I close my eyes breath in then out filling my spheres
of freedom, cross my fingers and then ……….

This reminds me of a song I have heard: I let go, release, relax and surrender. All is well, all is well. This is the best thing we can do for ourselves.

you delivered what i believe you set out to deliver here: lightness.....not that the subject matter was necessarily light (not so much :)...but your treatment gave air to these thoughts. well done.
