Once you let go
you observe things
that you haven’t observed before

The flower blooms
The skies become bright
The chirping of birds
appear like a melodious rhyme

Once you heave away the pain
you carried all along
you feel relieved
as if Hercules has let go
the world he carried on his back
a sense of rejuvenation surge down your veins,
a rush of blood
and it shows in your smile,
your eyes
and each one of your desires

You nurture hope,
you believe in love and
you feel like a soaring dove

So, shed away the pain,
do away with your yearnings
let go your past yore

for once you let go life begins
