Let Go
I remember feeling hopeless
And deeply afraid
Fractured.
Facing the unknown nearly broke me
There was nothing I could do.
But, my soul raged
Raged against that stifled and trapped suffocation.
Like a bird caught in a glass cage
My spirit slammed against my boundaries
Rebelling against despair.
Soothed by the the promise of release
From the pain
In this world
In this plane.
My soul, my spirit recognized
If it is set free
Everything will be alright.
I was made for something more
I’ve been training
Readying
For what’s next.
In the beginning, lifespans were not long.
Modern medicine changed that and our lifespans doubled, tripled.
Now, we cling to this life
To this plane
To this existence
But, this may never have been where we were supposed to stay
Our souls’ destination is somewhere different
This is a stopover
And, we’ve grown far too attached
Afraid of death
As if it is something permanent
Something scary
Something avoidable
Something final.
There’s a restlessness in my soul
Easily aware
Who are we really?
What are we really?
What purpose do we serve?
We are a part of other things
Our purpose much larger than here in this plane
Let go of the attachment
Let go of the fear
Let go of the pain
Give this life what it deserves
Give your soul the attention and love it needs
Use this place to grow
To blossom
To transmute.
This existence is so tragically beautiful
But, it’s not the destination
It’s the journey
On which we travel together, yet alone
Alone, yet never abandoned
Never abandoned.
There is nothing to fear
For we have wings
If only we allow ourselves to learn how to fly.
