Letting Go

John Beaulieu

This object, a wondering object,
blue shaped like a singing egg.
This singing object, mating with an unseen wind.

This object, hold this object in your mind.
Shape its blue form into a bird, a silent bird.
A bird without a chirp.

Look through your birds eyes into its song.
Let the bird go.

This is a song in your mind.
Let the song go.

This is a sound in your mind.
Let the sound go.

This is your mind.
Let your mind go.
