Rhyme and Reflection

What do we mean by “let go” .. we are not capable of forgetting past events or stop dreaming of future events .. so what is let go? Let go means “let it be” ..  it is the act of letting thoughts come and go and not be worried about it. Everything will change .. so let the thoughts come but don’t identify with it .. just let it be ..

Awakening to our true self isn’t a journey outward toward something new – it’s a journey inward toward something that’s always been there within us ..

Backed into the corner, I hesitantly looked her in the eye
her mischievous smile as always, was stubborn to pry

the questions were many that I wanted to ask
yet elegantly she smiled, refusing to remove the mask

embracing me she whispered, your story is wrapped around me
you will be lifeless with no cover if not for me

I complained about my day, the path, the surrounding
smiling she said she was the only company to make this journey bounding

what is the price I pay to get the smile on my face
aha! the tears you shed, the joys you experience and the memories you create

puzzled I stood at her unbridled innocence
As she dragged me through the lanes of shame and pride with no pretense

this is a unique love story of you and I, said she in a fringe
exasperated and worn out from defeat I humbly cringe

you lead I follow I said
I will laugh all the way no matter where we tread

holding my hand she tugged me forward
her impish smile reminding, she was my forgotten reward

finally she shouted I shall always be with you
with that new confidence I woke up a person new*
