Let
Toes edging the rocks
Atop, just at cliff’s edge
Leaning, inching out
Every muscle tense
Pulling, pushing
Willing to tether to earth
The brain overrides
Fighting against instinct
Mind over muscle
Muscle over mind
Relentless battle
Yearning to release
Why
Why not
Why not let
Why not let go
Why not let fate
Go!
Flight, freedom, release
Soaring over the canyon
Wind rushing, pushing
Cheeks into a smile
No more conflict
Trying to remember
Why desire the grounding in the first place
Longing for freedom…finding freedom - your poem instills that in my heart. Thanks Tami for putting your thoughts into such a beautiful poem.
