The Art of Letting Go / Mark Flanigan

is only

a necessary Art

after one no longer fears

being let go of

first.

it is a strength

that cannot be manufactured

it is a strength

no one, not even I,

can teach....

   and yet, you must learn.

it is forged through

desperation

still, it is a strength

one

stronger than yours

and in the end

it will be met

by someone,

   or no one,

makes no difference which,

   this strength will not budge,

knows not of compromise....

it is not a match

awaiting friction

it is not fire

inspired

to light

it is something else

something you know

knew

are reminded of

even now

it is something

to be forsaken

for as long

as you can afford to

while time, my friend,

is nobody’s friend

and faith

can only be returned

from whence

it was first sent.

go now.
