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