poem for the day...
Let Go Of It All
Let go of it all and see where it takes you.
Let the money slide away and the tense young men
Who talk of security and conquests.
Let the cars whiz by, the square jaws and
two bright eyes
Stumble and fall and lie prone upon the earth
Until you taste the dirt again and make friends
with the fog.
Toss your plans abroad the first wind heading north
And your ambitions on a breeze heading south.
Let it all descend upon you like lava and sunshine
And let the clouds guide you as they will.
There is no mountain high enough to climb
with satisfaction,
No hole deep enough to dig, no ocean vast
enough to cross.
There is only laughter and peace and
the present moment,
Your breath in unison with the throbbing earth,
Your flight as aimless and transient as the birds.
Let it all go and wash you like the rain,
Let if all go and buffet you like the wind,
Let it all go and see where it takes you
Until you are one with the earth
and all its inhabitants.
