Letting Go
(1/24/08)

Something happens when we let go of our soul
Something happens when we give in to the feeling
Clusters of thoughts dissolve into lust
Fear is taken over by faith
Your body tells you what you need
And although most try to fight it
And although most try to hide it
There is nothing quite like letting go
And falling fast
Hitting the ground with such intensity
Seeing clearly for the very first time
With eyes wide open
And your soul accepting this new way to live


Something happens when we take in that first breath
Something happens when we embrace the darkness
It changes us
It scares us
It defines us
And although most try to deny it
And although most try to forget it
Letting go with reckless abandon
Sharing the darkest part of yourself with another
Expressing that very darkness through your body
Without having to hide
Without having to pretend
It’s all about letting go of everything you’ve ever known


Teaching your soul to soar
And letting go
Helping your heart to heal
And letting go
Releasing any doubt
And letting go
Giving into the feeling
And letting go

Some live
Some dream
Anything is possible
But it starts with letting go
