to live in this world
you must be able to do three things
to love what is mortal
to hold it against your bones
knowing your own life depends on it
and, when the time comes
to let it go
to let it go
***
This one. When I read it, I close my eyes and picture hugging my closest people. Arms around them. And it's comforting. And then, letting go. And it's life. We can't hold on forever. But it's comforting all the same.
