letting go (for a friend)
on letting go
i see my heart start to walk away
outside my body it goes
and i run to tell it no
i tell it where will we go
oh my heart aren’t you afraid
afraid to go away
afraid to stay
letting go though
is like flow
i must allow myself
to float into the mystical
the unknown
the uncertainty
and let the universe
reel me in
into that place
that longs for home
where i acknowledge
i can be free
and be loved
in my alone
yet feel intimacy
that anchors me
a place to belong
and recognize myself
as my own
no explanation
no apologies
the unique expression
of my mind
the architecture of my bones
