Beach Writes, vol. 1

A little something I wrote while away on vacation, about letting go. I wrote some others, but just sharing this one for now. It doesn’t have a title because I don’t always like committing to titles for my poems/ prose. Titles always seem so final; so dramatic… and in this case, anything I came up with seemed to even further dramatize the act of writing poetry on the beach (lol). Genuinely, though, I was very grateful to have space and time last week to write in my petit Parisian notebook. 🙂

“Let go,” insists Dignity

“But why?” implores the heart

“It’s time,” repeats Reason

“I told you so,” chimes Judgement

“But what if…” begins Hope —

“Trust me,” nudges Experience.

“But I’m afraid,” reminds Fear.

“I know,” assures Tomorrow, “But you needn’t be.”

“Thank you,” smiles Faith.

“Next time can be different,” flirts Possibility.

“I hope you’re right,” sighs the heart.

“Fingers crossed,” exhales Memory, ever the fool for Love.
