Relinquishing

Something in the sound

like the Unraveling of a rope long gripped in panic

the release of a Breath exhaled at last

the Cooling brought on at dusk on a summer’s day

a flock of geese Honking as they push north

the peal of water

*  *  *

Relief at assessing with my heart

there is nothing more I can do

the ultimate Act of trust

an order to the chaos of my life

A message in the heat

meaning in the migrating geese

purpose in the sound of water

*  *  *

the unraveling Rope escapes my hand

precipitates the notion Nothing

was there to begin with

only my will

*  *  *

relinquishing or the Acceptance

that I am infinitesimally small

in an immeasurably large universe

governed by laws intuited

within instants, Fade

the moment they take Form.

  1. Thanks Kiki… For so eloquently reminding me of this indisputable truth!

    • We are here to remind each other, right? What with your beautiful weekly yoga wisdom!

  2. Kiki this one reminds me of the rebirth of Spring – Passover and release of bondage of our ego selves – letting go what we cannot change, change what we can, forgive what others did or did not do, and be free-er!

  3. A very wise and effective poem for one of the most difficult acts of life…..relinquishing control and the illusion that we had any to start with…

  4. So beautiful Kiki. Change is a constant and you were able to capture the moments in this poem.
