let me go
back to the earth
to repose
and decompose
let my atoms
become one
with this earth

though life
still has thrills
of being
and seeing
the issues
weigh too
heavy

far too long
i've languished
and fished
with bait
too dull
to lure the
trust of life

it's time
to let go
of dreams
reality trashes
like tornadoes
moving through
the soul

it's time
to let
the universe
do its thing
grab the ring
and trust
the winds
of time
