Sometimes we let go

Sometimes we just let go
Hand over fist
A Judas kiss
Wrapped tightly in blankets
Comfort of angels
Wings enfolding
Pain unfolding
Sometimes we just let go
Arms upholding
Strength midst weakness
A friend through the mess
Tears like rivers
Fears collapsing
Cascading
Down around
Still letting go
Breathing one
Last time
Looking up
And out
His face
Love’s embrace
Peace, extreme peace…
Sometimes
WE
LET
GO.

Today…
Tomorrow…
Heaven knows
Not I
Nor you
Whose eyes
Shall be waiting
Be looking at us
Whose embrace
Whose face
In that place
When
We
Let
Go.
