Click hereToday I let go ...
I surrendered my pain beneath a downpour in the ebony of the moonlight
Let it envelop the darkness of unforgiven trespasses
As shoulders hunched and body wracked
Moisture of tears masked by drops of rain
Betrayed by the salty taste upon my lips
I chased away the shadows upon my plains that block the light of You
Surrendered the hurt of a past I cannot change
Emptied my soul of its torment
For it was never mine to begin with
I burned the remnants that offered proof of Her offenses
Watched as the ashes floated away
Sparking once before dying in the torrent
Decided that if You would not let go, I would
Told God that I refuse to be held captive by choices I did not make
Placed the dust of my unhappiness in a jar
Set it down in the stream and watched it get carried away
I offered my skin wholly to the elements so that I would be made whole
As I wandered the streets on my journey back home
To You
To receive Your words
As they fill my heart to overflowing
Reaffirmed my trust in Us as whispered vows in the wind
Etched You in my heart as indelible
Then I smiled the smile of the burdenless
Because today I let go.
