Tug of War
Turning it over.
For years,
debating.
Considering
and reconsidering.
A constant tug-of-war.
So much energy spent
only to stay
stuck in place.
Not strong enough
to pull the rope
free.
Not willing to surrender
the fire
in your heart.
The dream
of a different ending.
There is no winning
this game.
Lift your eyes
off the rope
my love.
Look around you.
See the open field.
There is so much
space
to play.
To create
your own game.
Look up, overhead.
There is nothing
between you
and the soaring sky.
Open your hand.
Let go
of the rope.
Unleash the fire
in your heart.
Let it transform
the world.
