Let Go

It is anywhere, anytime
No specific rhyme
Her familiar frail voice
Once beckoning, now chiding
“leave me alone. You don’t need me anymore.
Bury me and all what makes you stumble.”
For a moment I see her clear
She is weight I have carried
She is stagnant water with no inlet nor outlet
A season long passed
I am no longer her
I have shed her skin
Two coats I cannot wear
Another has made me new

dVersepoetspub.com takes a look at narrative poetry. A place, a time, (here, in a moment of time), an observer (myself), a tense, (present), introducing with imagery, a lesson (discovery), a transformation.
Yeah, okay.

About Mary (tqhousecat)

I am married, and a mother of two grown children. I love Jesus and sharing my faith through written words. My poetry is on my blog and you can find some previous stories on Medium and linked-in. My focus is hope in Christ. My desire is that whoever reads this will be blessed, inspired, occasionally amused, kind, and patient to my growth in Christ as He conforms me to His image.

  4. Love the image of the two coats… once new you cannot be the old.

    Nice last two lines: “Two coats I cannot wear
    Another has made me new”
