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.
All that you touch, all that you see,
All that you taste, all you feel
Only 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
