Letting Go

I found you in the sand,

so perfect, smooth, and pink.

You tumbled in the salty sea - 
I'm so glad you came to me...

But you must soothe another soul,

So from my palm, I let you go. 

I found you in the green,

An amber, glowing thing. 

With veins of life and roots so deep,

Your strength alone is yours to keep.

In this world your color shines - 

You were never to be mine.

I found you by my door

Your softness white and shy

Grateful for this tenderness,

I felt someone else should be blessed.

I kissed you once and let you fly

high into the wild of life,

free to sing your whole song.

We slowly find where, and to whom, we belong.
