I needed to hang on to her curly ring,
Help me please, let my affairs take wing.
Said, release my hair, instead take my lips,
Let go of long life, with good times swing.

Comments1I absolutely loved this poem! There's such beauty in its simplicity, and yet, it conveys such a profound message about life, love, and letting go. This is my invitation to embrace moments of joy and drop what burdens us. Love it!
