A Time To Release

Visualize… Close your eyes...
Imagine balloons held up to the sky.
The strings you are clutching,

they tether your soul.
Until you untangle, unravel, untie…
Your heart is a prisoner expecting to die.

Visualize… Close your eyes…
Loosen your grasp.
Uncurl your fingers.

Allow the strong threads to pass.
The wind tugs them gently

away from your touch.
Drifting and rising,

the ribbons stream down.
Teasing your fingers,

you reach one last time.

          Alas, No, be alive…

Visualize… Close your eyes…
Lower your weary arms

and shade your bleary eyes
Now is the time to say your goodbyes.
All that was binding your spirit flies aloft
Yearning for freedom

A deep breath

You sigh.

          Ah, yes! Goodbye.
