Letting You Go

(a poem by Chicago Areas Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, Silver Winner)

Reprinted with permission of The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers.

Grey crumbled ashes

Seeping through her fingers

Diving away into the wind

Settling in places he loved

His soul dancing with the wind

From the tree tops

Singing and laughing

In and out of the waves.

I feel sick

Her hands not mine

Let you go

Flying away in grey pieces

Through her fingers

At least you’re free
