Let Go


Only those who have willingly let go Can see their mind as it leaves They perceive where its destination lies While their body’s yearn for that place They are the first to see the signs That somewhere is better than here So a void is created between realities And the thoughts that become real Only those who have willingly let go Can understand that madness Is simply mad to the found and un-maddened That the placid can’t know the beauty Of paradise’s individually stirred waters That the colors of that mad world Are original every day to every lost mind That this created fantasy holds all reverie Only those who have willingly let go Know the sanctity offered there The peace coming from leaving this world Now perceived as senseless How can anyone live in a world as such When their musings could be existent Elevating them from an ordinary life How does one not let their mind out Only those who have willingly let go Know the choice of being free
