Letting Go

Tightly grasped,
I opened my eyes
and you are gone forever.

    It seems the harder we grasp the more likely it is to get away. But in this poem, I see something else...it's like how we wish so hard for something, we close our eyes tightly, and pray or hope...but only to open them to the reality...that our dreams don't come true, mot unless we set out to make them.

    And of course the poem also speaks of loss, losing that what we once had...love is indeed all to fleeting.

    Thanks for entering the contest.

      Thank you, Yemassee

      I love the perceptions you evoked from this ~ that's what makes poetry so amazing!
      I will share though, for me personally, it was about realizing my rigid 'grip' on anything will eventually loosen or change away. (Much like your first comment) Life is a passing parade as nothing stays the same...lessons learned in 'detachment'.

      Blessings~
