Everything

Once you let go of everything,

everything arrives in golden wrapping.

Once you die to everything,

everything is born to vibrant life.

Catastrophe begets strength,

sorrow births joy,

confusion opens to clarity,

anger becomes forgiveness.

Once you move into nothingness,

everything deepens into peace.

Thanks eveyone for the likes, & John & Manish for the comments. If only I could "practice what I preach" in my poems. Lol. I guess it's a minute by minute, breath by breath, practice of letting go. 💞
