May your troubles be loosened today, dear friend – may you find yourself letting go. May you be filled with grace to finish your race. May blessings arrive each morning.

Loosening - A Poem of Letting Go



something is loosening the laces
of all that was tightly held

white knuckles
clinched fist
rigid wrist

something's emerging
from the deep

could it be courage
untying the knots?

fingers uncurl
hope begins to swirl

something sweeps
through bones and veins

washing away
aches and pains

with outstretched arm
grace takes my hand

things tightly held
fall to the land

covered by dirt
nourished by soil
no need to work

no strife
no sweat
no toil

troubles now are planted
in the ground of grace

where goodness knows
how beauty grows

alive in love's embrace
