let go

i do not want to hold on to you

too tightly

as you are a being of beauty

even if at times the veil falls down

and obscures from you a vision of this

truth

I became aware today

of how vulnerable you always were

and of how easily I could hurt you

with a word

and I want to say I am sorry

that before

my own hurt or defences

also obscured the truth

it was then I allowed the tears

to soften me

and show me how I do love you

it is just sometimes

it seems

i cannot help you

as i would wish

and so it is I open my hands

and let go

as I open my heart

to allow this river of love to flow

and pray you feel it

etherically

the truth is I am often thinking of you

praying for you

and there is never a time

my love can end

all hurts have now disappeared

with the wind

as we are no longer

the people we were

then
