Occasional Impressions Poetry CollectionsSecret joys and public spectaclesLetting go (gently)Letting go (gently) -all that we were is no more:joys, hopes, fears - all are ended -entrusted into the hands of otherswho may not care as we have cared.All will be forgottensave in the mind of God.All is hidden once more:secret joys and public spectacleswill be as if they never were.The thicket closes back over the paththat we had trodden down -save in the eye of God.Memories fade,even friends forget:they move on into another worldthat we have never lived in -that we have had no part in.We are left behindsave in the sight of God.Gone is gone:all we once knew,all we once took pride in,is forgotten and poured backinto the cauldron of possibility -save in the choice of God.Love lives on (a while)but even love dies eventually -save that One Lovewhich ever bears us upsafe in the arms of God.John-David Yule
