Sunrise from the town dock, Longboat Key, Florida
I let it go
On the summer wind,
With the sun in my eyes,
I let it go.
I remembered what we did here.
I remembered how it felt then.
I smiled, and I cried, just a little.
I will always miss what was
and I will always miss what wasn’t.
But letting go is something I’m getting good at.
Knowing that letting go
Opens the space
For something new and wonderful
To come in.
Entering the autumn of my life,
I cling to summer.
So, I go where it is warm,
Where I’ll not be reminded
Of the summer dreams that
turned into nightmares.
Where new dreams will be born.
I wish you love and light,
I wish all good things for you.
Even though we don’t talk,
We talk, on levels we don’t understand.
I still feel you, all the time.
I hope you are happier than what I feel.
Let us both feel good about what was,
Just between us, when there was no one else.
Peace to you. Peace to me.
Love always and all ways.
This resonated with me. I, too, am letting someone go. I like to follow your blog. We both live ‘in the same neck of the woods’. I will be waiting avidly for FL/new life updates! I wish you all the best.
Thanks so much. I feel for you. This letting go has been taking way too long. But he wouldn’t let me go. Now maybe. But I think it will be easier from FL All the best to you too! 🌺
