To Let Go of All One Has Loved

Let me feel the clouds embrace my face, my smile

like old friends, they will welcome my return and celebrate

laugh and envelop with me in charged energy, in lightening storms

and know when my proudly shed tears rain down; for any duration, I will be missing you…

Let me be the earth you long to feel, falling from your grip

rich and fertile, holding onto life’s roots of growing forests

forever understanding natures balance, her history

timeless land always to be missed, like home, that place to stay…

Let me bathe in glassy waves of mighty oceans

where souls are caressed by endless tides

and so I may always, reach out to your horizon

with unique presence; deeply mysterious and loyally true…

Let me harness and deftly ride the wildest horses

found only in each great stable of all four winds

so I may gallop through time and my forests, unseen

across snowy peaks, or busy streets; so to always glance your face

and kiss you warmly with summer breezes, if you ever coldly turn away…

To touch the world, in one’s final act conveyed

when one must let go completely, of all one has loved

to become cast ashes from hands well known, in reflective silence

Nirvana bound; knowingly falling, into ones everlasting faith

to where hearts so freely given, may forever improve this mortal world

and thus always remain; fondly loved, remembered, immortalized with time…
