We attain wisdom
with each undoing of ourselves
as though somehow the gathering
of all our shattered pieces
being put back not quite the same
in some new age mosaic
makes us all artists
every time the choice is made
to move forward
& continue
breathing in,
letting it go.

Letting it go
can be the hardest part,
yet like a metronome
our lungs do the work
in rhythm with our heart
to create a beautiful percussion
needed for the march we endure.
