Releasing 2

Your stuffs still here for me to clear

I have no clue what to hold as dear

I think it’s time, it’s been a year

And so with love I release

Your toothbrush

Your razor

Your shaving cream

Your t-shirts

Your undershorts

Your socks

Your shoes

Your shirts

Your pants

Your coats

Your gloves

And somewhere in the releasing I learn

What I should hold dear

Your laughter

Your smile

Your smirk

Your jokes

Your power

Your presence

Your gifts

Your love

And in the releasing and the letting go

I find my way forward

I learn to transform the ‘we are’ to ‘I am’

I am alone but not lonely

I am strong

I am resilient

I am a reflection of the best of us

I am enough 

I learn to release our dreams

Of traveling the world

Of growing old together

Of wrinkles

Of failing bodies

Of watching the children grow

Of growing wisdom

Of holding hands

I learn to make my own dreams

Of traveling the world

Of growing old

Of wrinkles

Of watching the children grow

Of finding my passion

Of finding my joy

And I learn

I have you inside me

I take you with me

You make me laugh still

I see you in the sunset

I see you in the children

I feel you in my heart
