Letting Go

For a moment,

I let go–

Only to find

That grace took my breath away,

And cradled the fall.

And I shed a tear and smiled

At the irony.

That all this time

I had held on tightly,

As if chaos would rush in

To fill the void.

But it was this terror

That held me in.

Having me believe that

Blessings were things for which to hold my breath and wait.

And I realized, that a divine symphony

Had been in the ether all along,

The gifts of its harmony yearning to be bestowed.
