The Poetic Word

Letting Go

BY GLORIA O’KOYE

Walk on the path

Decorated in liberation and freedom.

The wind blowing petals from

Tulips , yellow roses, nerine

Symbolizes true independence.

 

A gift of free will,

Often get taken advantage of.

Speak out fortunes of consistency that cloaks around the soul filled homes,

From peering eyes and inner doubtful thoughts.

 

In order to serve a greater purpose

There are external and internal weights

That is mandatory to be released from.

 

Life is like a series of surprise quizzes and exams.

It continues to repeat and crank up the heat

With each turn

Until the lesson is applied to the fullest extent.

 

The longer something is held against their comfortability,

It will lash out in pits of fire and volcanic explosions.

The yearning to make amends can act like

Curtains over common sense.

 

But the sooner the remedy of release is consumed and digested

The rewards and riches in entering a new stage

Will be like salve

Promoting healing at a fast pace.

 

Finishing what it had started.

Don’t give up hope

Keep pushing,

You are valued throughout generations before and generations after,

A game changer in the making!
