Day 6, Sonnet 6

How simple seems the edict to let go.

As though a grasp of heart were that of hand

Where fingers numb and soon release control;

But stubborn souls can many blows withstand.

But should the bonds of memory retain

By force the past and future’s hopes and dreams?

For mourning is just that: desire’s reign,

Feeble attempts to mend these fraying seams.

But let us weep a while, let tears flow free

To wash o’er these parched mouths and trembling lips

To loosen grips of grief’s solemnity

As souls set sail like heaven’ly-guided ships.

Feel not obliged to stay, dear Souls, roam on

Take rest in flight: your letting go is done.
