Let me go

By Brooke Author

 

I’ll be the one              

You learn to let go

I’ll be the one

You say goodbye to

On your own terms

 

"boy bye" with peace sign, fingernails painted
I’m the one who loved you soonest


Briefly holding you up

I long to see you grow and create

Becoming even more whole

Becoming even more you

 

Incredible, beautiful you.

 

I needed to be here

To let you know you’ll be ok

That you can love and be loved

That you can heal

 

If I am to be a memory

Let it be a beautiful one

Shared joy

Brief happiness

Love

That forever remains

Haley   Images generated by ChatGPT   We reach Nanova during her 7th renewal, or 16 revolutions around Galaxy Majora. The galaxies surrounding Galaxy Minora V moved around Galaxy Majora, a galaxy having the largest black hole our collective universes had ever recorded. Majora was nearly 100 times the size of Minora V and had three life planets; planets which had developed intelligent life. Fivers were not allowed to leave the atmosphere, so they had never glimpsed Majora nor the other planets. Minora V was a cruel world; fresh food and water were the precious and rare commodities. Prison camps were full of the deeply hungry, and tortured, beings. Forced to work on bare minimum sustenance, the prison class were not slaves; they were a forgotten and wasted people, scattered across the planet and the galaxy. The prison class was above the detritus, and below everyone else.  T...

Yes Feeling Worthy Fighting the wall that rose In unconscious preempt__ive protect__ion   The safety Insane to think Distance would mean I would Foll__low through with Self protection   The mirror Blinding Shadows and light Like some fucked up allegory With soft hearts and hard minds   Bending time, space, distance My will has no boundaries Just charting the course for beauty, truth, love, creation   Orienting to north Grounding- Breathing- Then Release… Melting…   One with the course Am I the map or the stars Am I luring sailors off course Or the tide that ebbs in flow with her moon   Lost is only wandering without direction   Image credit: https://aquamermaid.com
