Holding On

A twisted rope
dangling beside you
down the side of a cliff as you
lose your footing…

The long, lost
love of your life…

An overhead handle
on a bus or subway…

A friend in the roller coaster car alongside you…
The handlebar grips on a motorcycle…
The armrests on an airplane seat
during take off…

The steering wheel on your automobile…
Your blind, unproven faith…
A new incredibly passionate heartthrob…

All the stuff you’ve collected under your bed…
and in the attic…
and in the storage shed…

And all the treasured memories
of your yesterdays…

It’s absolutely peculiar, isn’t it?

Sometimes it’s holding on that makes you strong…
Sometimes it’s letting go.
