| August 29, 2001 By Karen Resnick I enter the depths of my deepest sorrow The place where my heart bleeds, empty and dry Fill me with the love the warmth the fullness of knowing you are with me always… How do I let go? Of my true love My little light who grows so strong yet holding on by a thread The thread that holds you to me and me to you. Yet it is thinning. So fragile so weak so helpless and dependent on me I am sorry that I can no longer nurture you and our relationship. You need me I need you And to continue could cost us both our lives You have come to me in strength in question in uncertainty To teach me about: love and sorrow joy and peace grieving beyond belief And ultimately trust Trust that I am whole-with or without you. Trust that I may connect with myself in relationship to the world in which I live To breathe in life as it fills me This is too surreal How to grasp the present moment as life unfolds As my choices get squashed into a corner of surrender Tears please wash away my pain, my sorrow, my anguish Turn me inside out, upside down, round and round and back again and pray I come out standing How do I say goodbye to preconceived notions of my future? My life? Redirect me The path that lies ahead is uncertain Rocky Rebuilding the pieces of my life which have crumbled down Bleed, bleed, bleed Release my bundle of joy into freedom so he will exist without the confines of these boundaries I have known too well Fly away dove and forever know that you were loved and have taught me the hardest lessons of love I have ever known
