Poetry Friday

Picture Source
let it go - the
smashed word broken
open vow or
the oath cracked length
wise - let it go it
was sworn to
go

let them go - the
truthful liars and
the false fair friends
and the boths and
neithers - you must let them go they
were born
to go

let all go - the
big small middling
tall bigger really
the biggest and all
things - let all go
dear

so comes love

~ e. e. cummings ~

Butterflies have been my reminder of my grandmother since the day she passed away. Butterflies (two of them) were in the shrub beside my front door for two days right after my dad passed away. Butterflies remind me of those I have lost. Last night, I lost a friend. This is timely for me... the poem (one I love) and especially the butterflies.... Here come the tears again... Thanks, Katie.... xoxox

I love e.e. This is one of my favorites. Disillusionment, betrayal, these are so painful. Yes, we need to let it go and make room for those who love honestly.
