Let Go

The world is a beautiful place
if only you would open
your eyes to see.

Sunsets and rises;
soft lights
made to hypnotize.

Life in in abundance
streaming and brimming
in every corner round.

They could be standing there,
waiting to be found.

Or maybe it's you
in need of the finding,
a dream or a hope
or something else hiding.

You see his eyes
and her sweet smile
and though inviting,
you turn away in memory.

I beg you to turn back around
and let yourself see more
than the ground.

See the sky
in their eye
and let go.
