Exhalation

(heavy sigh)

Exhalation

Surrender

It's so hard to 

LET GO

s u r r e n d e r

when you've been holding on

so tightly

for so long

as if for your life

as if for your love

as if for your dreams

one more

Exhalation

Surrender

s u r r e n d e r

to the beginning of

What Comes Next

in the unknowing

in the unfolding

in the alternate life 

with the other dreams

you didn't know you were dreaming

because you were holding your breath

holding on too tightly

for much too long

to a worn out life left behind

to a love that was a love come undone

to all the broken dreams that were bleeding

to the spirit of a heart beseeching

exhalation

surrender

s u r r e n d e r

falling failing flying

being breathing bequeathing

lift drop crash

become

exhalation
