May I choose to let go
Just like life-giving breath
Is given to you and
You cannot hold onto it
You have to let it go
To take in the next one
Every thought, sensation, and
Perception waits to be
Acknowledged by you and
Returned to its source
And if you listen carefully
All these things
Aggressively, gently,
Impatiently, or sweetly
Importune you to do
What you must do
