Let Go!

.

Discovering My True Calling

Deciphering the meaning of life,
Wanting happiness, success, and prosperity,
Walking down the aisle of self-perfection,
I let go.

Wanting somebody to be there,
Listening to my idiosyncrasies and deep articulations,
To share in all the fun, craze, and sadness,
To understand and be understood,
To care and be cared for,
I let go.

Concerned about my dreams and breakthroughs,
Distinctions between fantasies and realities,
To live and find something worth living for,
To not go abroad, nor live aboard,
All this to find out I am lost again in the pursuit.
I let go.

Wanting my friends to find me,
To take time to talk to me,
Wanting my fairytale life:
The coffee smell, stargazing, silence, and warmth,
Piano tracks, moonlight, and fire,
I let go.

I let go of:
My mind and heart,
My dreams and reality,
My thoughts and realizations,
My existence and extinction.
I let go.

Living in abstracted oblivion,
The unfound in the unfolding reality,
The one waiting and being awaited,
The one stagnant and unseen,
The one sad and serene,
The one laughing and thunderous,
Benign and monotonous.
The one and the none,
For once and for all,
I let go.
