"Letting Go"
My gaze more lethal than a heavy dose of strychnine
pierces through your soulish realm,
exposing the tiny fractures that your well tailored suit so meticulously hide.
In my naivety, I almost missed it,
but time in my Father's presence has helped to sharpen my senses.
I'm no longer deaf nor am I blind.
So, when I look at you, I see the diamond cuff links and designer Gator shoes as metal hand cuffs and prison issued flip-flops. I see straight through your cocky smile and smooth swagger into a heart full of fear and greed. And now I recognize that the warmth I once felt in your embrace was a by-product of the strangle hold you had on my heart.
Despite what I see, I'm torn. While my body wants to love you, the other two-thirds of me scream in anguish. So, I sit quietly and close my eyes to dull my natural sense of sight. Suddenly, with my inner ear, I clearly hear these words resonating in my spirit...LET HIM GO!
So I exhale and follow that trusted voice.
