Analysis of The Enigma of Letting Go



What does it really mean to let go?
Do you perhaps know?
Some people just guess and rightfully so
I do believe some people never truly want to go
Go to find the answers on question that they probably didn’t even want to ask
Go to do things that are reprehensible to only that actions of one who are simply no longer there
So maybe they all just let go
But to implore a deeper sense of reason as why
To what rhyme to this reason did that decision derive from
What has occurred in this world for that possible scenario not only be plausible but then occur
To claim acquittal for actions that had no control on a personal behalf to anyone other than yourself is a futile attempt in fruitful thoughts
It could anything and everything or nothing at all
It can be bright as sun in wonderfully bright blue sky
It can be bright as the night in little cabin in the pocket of a humongous mountain simply covered in whites powdery snow and plainly out of sight
Perhaps maybe it is truly unknown what is right
What is right might be a repetitive cycle of oxymoronic instances
I never know but it always begs the question
What does it really mean to find out
What does it really mean to let go?
