Let go

Lean back over black holding the branch that promises eternity

The last breath between life and death, taste your mortality

Grasp then clasp with all your strength visions of what you see

Time grows slow so you'll know the strength of the tree

Face, then embrace hollow space, hanging by a hair

Inhale deep oncoming sleep, drink flavored air

On feathered dreams gleams of beams sunny angels wear

Break fear's chains, wash away rust's stains, nothing more to impair

Dark clouds as shrouds, paint your way to the sun

Jar of joy filled, don't let it be spilled on the run

Release the sky, doesn't matter why, salvation from threads of threat spun

Walking life, on the edge of a knife a bullet in the gun

A tornado ride, the north star guide, the tail of lightning pull

In wild dance take a chance, live your life to the full

As time wears on I think sometimes I can see more clearly then something unknown and unexpected throws itself into the works and I'm left wondering. Maybe all any of us can do is ride the ride and hang on for dear life.

Thanks my friend for the read. Yes it is the ride that I look back on and like a bull rider that only gets eight seconds hang on and enjoy what comes pain or elation of victory just surviving is a joy.

Wow! A breathtaking write from your poetic pen this morning, dear Soren. For me, this amazing poem tells the reader to enjoy the time between the present moment and the moment we leave this world for our spiritual home. To embrace what is and welcome it with joy. I love the advice given to wash away the stains of life, to break the fear that wraps around us like a chain and to allow nothing to detract from what we are experiencing. Your wonderful poem has told me to live my life fully today, to enjoy each and every moment it brings to me, to appreciate it, to let go of what I can't control, I don't have any fears so nothing to let go there, but I will live in joy and enjoy the blessings I receive on this beautiful Autumn day! Sublime inking, dear Soren and sending very special and brightest blessings to you for so kindly sharing it with me. SO enjoyed reading! Thank you again, dear friend...

I thank you friend for the read and understanding the message it is something I took too long to learn having only done so for the last 60 years. The first 13 were not lived as freely.

Most welcome always, dear Soren. We have to reach a certain age before we learn what we need to learn and only in age do we understand fully... Lovely work, dear friend and thank you again for sharing...
