To Let Go

 

If you let go of me

And I let go of you

No one is holding on

There is no longer two

You’re free to move on

And I’m free to express

No worries about my thoughtlessness

No worries about how I sleep at night

To toss to the left or turn to the right

No worries if my harmony’s off

Or if my emotions run too soft

No worries if I laugh on set

No worries about the looks you get

Right now you are free to be you

Oddly enough, I’m free to be you too

This freedom chokes to the soul

That’s why one of us must let go

What all of us dream about is for two to be one.
And if one must let go, then you were never one but only two.

One is not about thoughtlessness and freedom.
One is about forgiveness and commitment and dedication.

Two is work and worry.
One is sharing joy.

"To Let Go" is an insightful commentary on a sadness of life.
In its reading I am reminded of how I am blessed beyond belief.

Your postings always enrich my understanding, Sharon.

Love,
Richard

A logical thought to control the pumping of emotions of the heart...
"To Let Go" deals on sharing and togetherness of free feelings... "To Let Go".

In admiration,

Yes, sometimes love is not enough. Sometimes you must love someone enough to let go too.

Be safe,

I hope not!
One can enter into, share and enjoy the freedom of the other.
No worries? Life doesn't promise us an easy ride as individuals or collectively. It never asks what we want, just gives us options and leaves us to negotiate them. Crafty bugger that it is.

The mutual checkmate point is revealed in the last line.
My wife and I have been at this point a couple of times in our 30 odd years together, neither of us walked away fully from the board. We just started a new game.

'This freedom chokes to the soul'
Interesting oxymoron construction, especially when one considers that freedom liberates not strangles.

Perhaps TOO let go is nearer the mark?

Yikes, though I just let go, and inside I feel so untrapped and free. And Happy happy happy....

Sharon,
Letting go can sometimes be the hardest thing to do. Not only in war but in life, freedom comes with a price.

Sad write,when love becomes too oppresive and starts tosmother then no matter how much love comes before it is time to open the gap.
