House of Cards

Image: origin unknown

Let go,

It wasn’t meant to last –

Nothing but true love is.

The instability that you’ve

been witnessing

is a sign –

Gravity wants to help you out…

It’s time for The descent and grounding.

Fall to your own knees

if you must -

Humus, humility, and human

share the same origin.

Oh, please -

Be the wind

confident across your lips

that says,

“I will honorably destroy

that which I created

and bare witness

to this loss with the

fullness of my heart.”

Only the creator

has the universal blueprint -

This you should Know.

Let your personal

house of cards come

tumbling down

in majestic chaos.

Yes,

Garner the courage to

turn your tethered struggle

into a holy offering –

Candle light,

glitter,

and a nice glass of wine –

Feed the Holy your

untimely attachments

and you’ll both be

fully satiated.

I want to watch your

heels fly high as you

dance the mythos

of security to

death –

like a passion-drunk

dervish.

That’s right.

No more investing your energy

in the fallacy of indefinite stabilization,

snatch the most pivotal card

and invite the child of you

to toss it in uproarious play.

Be sure,

absolutely sure,

to revel in the multi-story crash -

For a long while if you will…

Bring your tears and party hats.

Severance, my friend,

is a passageway to joy -

This you should know.

Let go.

Let go,

It wasn’t meant to last –

Nothing but true love is.
