I Will Let You Go Poem by CHRISTOPHER MUDIENYI

Its thirteen years ago,
It's been thirteen years at a go,
And the apparitions of his memory,
Still so fresh in my memory,
I thought I would be calm,
In the thought that he would come,
But it is now crystal clear,
That him who was very dear,
Would never be able to return,
And that his back he would not turn,
He was long gone,
We should let bygones be by gone,
They said he was on a journey,
But isn't it so funny,
He had to go while he was asleep,
Isn't he going to slip?
I don't want him to slip and fall,
Because I want him to walk tall,
He has to be my lighthouse,
Out of this dark empty house,
Or are you waiting for me somewhere?
To lead me out of this ‘nowhere'?
The blue waters seem so calm,
The sky blue has no blues,
But the turbulence, this turbulent turbulence,
Has become a thief of reverence,
I have been swirled and twirled,
In confusing circles I have whorled,
But I will not be confused,
That I have refused,
From this conniving cocoon,
I will not behave like a goon,
But will gather my strength,
And go an extra length,
Because you taught me to be strong,
Even when the journey is long,
This is the time for change,
To go beyond the range,
And like a butterfly fly so high,
Stop being a caterpillar,
And be my own strong pillar,
For this is a metamorphosis.
