The night moves slowly past the window, Streetlights blur into gold. I feel the weight becoming lighter As I loosen what I hold. There are moments meant for keeping, And moments meant to leave. I don’t have to carry everything To honor what it means. I exhale into the silence, I let the current lead. I let it drift away, Softly and naturally. What no longer moves with me Can finally be free. I let it drift away, Calm and easily. I open space within myself For what is meant for me. The air feels different around me, Like rain after the heat. There’s peace inside the empty places Where resistance used to be. Every ending leaves an opening, Every breath creates release. I trust the space that forms around me When I choose a little peace. I soften into movement, I release what I don’t need. I let it drift away, Softly and naturally. What no longer moves with me Can finally be free. I let it drift away, Warm and quietly. The space I create within myself Returns to clarity. Nothing here is disappearing. Nothing here is lost. Some things simply move beyond us As we become who we are. I let it drift away. I am lighter. I am free.
