Letting go

It is easy to go on

Just place one foot in front of the other

Walk on by

The stars shine more brightly tonight

My work here is done.

You may think you are broken but you are whole

You are the eagle soaring high above every living soul

You are above, you are below and all around, encompassing everything

You are the laughter of a child, the tear of a bride, the wrinkle on old skin

You are beauty, you are truth, you are light

You are love. There was nothing ever more bright.

It is easy to carry on

A kind word should not bring tears to the eye, but that will take time

Curling up into a ball feels just so right

Get up from the bed, look in the mirror and actually see yourself

Are you hiding your cry? Oh you do that perfectly

So what if your eyes betray your pain after a few hours

The sun will shine tomorrow but now it brings rain showers

The flowers have wilted, those flowers which were supposed to bloom

On that abandoned tree which survived anyway.

I had come to bring you home

Lead you through a path strewn with petals and dreams

My feet, they have bled from treading on thorns

But they look as beautifully red as the flowers I have walked on.

I had come to make you whole

You, who had led your life in parts all along

I held your hands even when you let go

And now I see you are getting ready to fly.

The stars shine more brightly tonight

My work here is done.
