And here comes a new one poem for participating at Neha’s Calling all Creative Minds/Poets/Artists to a Poetic Collaboration – “Letting Go”
Letting Go
What happened once is long ago
Regrets and guilt won’t change it though
And all the wounds, well, quite a lot
From all the bullets others shot
I think it’s time to let them heal
And stop to make it a big deal
Too long I kept the past alive
And cut myself with its sharp knife
Too long I carried it along
And kept myself from moving on
I look above and see the sky
Was it ever so blue and high?
There’s so much room to just be me
I’m letting go and flying free

In some way it comes at the right time, doesn’t it? Letting go is a consequence from an inner decision after we are ready to lay the past at rest, make peace with others, and turn towards life and ourselves again. At the same time it is the beginning of something breathtaking new. And we feel all the good things that happen even deeper right because of what happened before 💖

Thank you, Joy! It is a great prompt, Neha gave us here and I think one most of us can very well relate to the different perspectives and stages of letting go!
