it's time

I'm letting go...

I once felt a wave
lapping at my feet.
The water tickling me softly,
a warm comforting wave.

The water is calm now,
still and impenetrable.
But I need warmth,
and comfort.

"The tender friendships one gives up, on parting, leave their bite on the heart, but also a curious feeling of a treasure somewhere buried. "
~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Southern Mail, 1929, translated from French by Curtis Cate
