A Poem for Monday



Poetry is the language of the soul and my spirit is hungry for exquisite words that speak to my heart. So, I begin the week with a poem.



A dear friend recently introduced me to the wondrous, romantic poems of e.e cummings. His words soothe, enchant and ring true. I’m rather in love.

Monday, I greet you with this poem, reminding me to let go and embrace life’s flow. I let go of expectations. I let go of negative self-talk. I come home to the breath. I come home to this poem. I come home again to love. 



let it go – e.e. cummings

let it go -- the

smashed word broken

open vow or

the oath cracked length

wise -- let it go it

was sworn to

go



let them go -- the

truthful liars and

the false fair friends

and the boths and

neithers -- you must let them go they
were born

to go


let all go -- the

big small middling
tall bigger really

the biggest and all

things -- let all go

dear

so comes love.
