Letting Go of Sadness

Letting Go of Sadness

Letting go of sadness

Grief and laughter

Hand in hand

Walked the beach

Toes deep in sand

Grief had cried an

Ocean of tears

While laughter became

Solace

Up and down

Through the years

Letting go of sad

As a garment that no longer fits

To stand naked

Before a world

Ready embrace

And seam up

The perfect cloak

Of acceptance

Other wounded souls

Healing their own scared spirits

At the flame of my confession

Knowing nothing about nothing

Experiencing that I am

A much beloved child of God

Close the door on

Entreaties, excuses, explanations,

Defenses, blather
