Let Go

 

Electronic goons entangle

Emails, texts, phone

All costing me not only money

But the stillness within my soul

Television barks, radio wails

Always connected, always available

 

I hear the whisper

The call of simplicity

Encouraging me

To just let go

 

Supper from the microwave

Nutrition starved calories

High fructose corn syrup

Salt, sugars, caffeine

My body is imprisoned

By the processed life

 

I hear the whisper

The call of simplicity

Encouraging me

To just let go

 

Retreating to my cushion

From the stillness I hear

Thoreau still speaking

“A man is rich in proportion

To the number of things

He can afford to let alone.”

 

I hear the whisper

The call of simplicity

Encouraging me

To just let go
