LETTING GO

12.13.04

 

 

 

softly softly floating

no more gloating

no decision

no precision

 

the ultimate cop out

turned out

to be

an ultimate reality

saying the final

No!

 

to all the others

could be seen

as sin

yet one discovers

this is

a cop in

 

softly softly floating

no more gloating

 

pause

refresh

cause

effect

 

energies turning

bridges burning

mind stops churning

no more learning

 

Stop!

 

moments before

moments after

simply exist

as laughter

 

sinking in

softly softly floating

 

oh letting go

of the show

stand up and stretch

exit this theatre of dreams

this film has come

to an end

 

softly softly floating

no more gloating

 

pause

refresh

cause

effect

 

energies returning

back

from here to here

 

bridges burning

mind stops churning

no more learning

 

Stop!

 

the pathless path

the gateless gate

am glad I asked

and got back hate

 

because now this!

it's not too late

 

each pain, each sin

sent me within

all that I gave away

has returned to me

today

through the pores of my skin

 

the needle and the thread

are said

to pull it all together

 

pulling back

to my own head

my own heart

is changing me forever

 

however

this time

I will hold it

keep it here

the metaphor is clear

retension dear

no more fear

let the outside

Go!

 

ho ho

 

softly softly floating

no more gloating

 

pause

refresh

cause

effect

 

bridges burning

mind stops churning

no more learning

 

Stop!
