Letting Go

Posted by Terrence Johnson

My hands clenched into yours
Help Me!
I yell as I helplessly hang over the edge
I'm scared
As I survey my potential fate in panoramic view
Hang on
You answer reassuring me to hold on
I'll try
I attempt to gain my footing but slip further
Oh God!
I scream as my grip loosens and I fear the end is near
I'm here
As I look up confused but wanting to continue on
Let Go
He tells me as I continue to slip
I'll die
Responding as if He did not understand my plight
Trust me
He said in a voice that sounds eerily familiar
I can't
Not wanting to trust in the unknown
You can
He answers conforting me with His grip
I'm here
He repeats as I attempt to figure out His words
I will
I reply as I let go and accept whatever comes next
You believed
He says after I let go and realize that I'm safe
I did
Telling myself of what I just accomplished
Let go
He told me and I replied, Let God
