Letting go.......


this is a time of break ups and breakthroughs,
of closing old books that are read and done,
chisel away what is no longer essential,
embrace the story that has begun......
rusted patterns of hurt and dismay,
a loop going round and round,
sometimes one needs to slash it all,
and patiently wait for rennaisance.....
some who we think are close to us,
are sometimes not which is alright too,
it is not always about working on oneself,
sometimes one needs to simply cut through......
never easy to let go of people, 
always believed i had to try more,
i resisted and i persisted,
sometimes it is wiser to walk out the door.......
i can choose to learn my lessons,
through joys instead of pain,
growth lies in sunny moments,
not always in cold and rain.......
sometimes one needs to say no,
make space for the yes to flow,
no to connections with no aspirations,
yes to the ones that make you soar.........

Beautiful Neeta. You've reminded me of Rebecca Walker's (daughter of Alice) book Baby Love - it's all about letting go of things and people that just don't work ...

Neeta said...

Thanks Fleur, maybe I'll get this book Baby Love and read it then.....
