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

Releasing

Your stuff’s still here for me to clear

No clue what to hold as dear

So much stuff you left undone

So much more you’d not begun

Your chair is empty

Your cup unfilled

I see your echo everywhere

Time moves forward

Thoughts go backward

My life is stuck

My hope’s been plucked

Your chair is empty

Your cup unfilled

I feel your echo everywhere

My pain begins to slowly ease

My thought no longer flees

My life has been refined

My dreams now unconfined

Your chair is now pushed in

Your cup in cupboard now is found

I feel your presence everywhere
