LET IT ALL GO - (POETRY)

 

LET IT ALL GO

 

Clinging! Clinging!! Clinging!!!

 

Clinging so hard to nothing.

 

Plotting and planning, scheming and scamming

 

 All in a bid to control the game.

 

 The moment you think you are winning,

 

 Something happens to throw you off your tripping.

 

 You're jumping from one foot to the other,

 

 Always on tenterhooks, 

 

 And screwed up all the time.

 

Then I remembered the Master

 

And laughed at my foolishness.

 

 Why was I stressing myself,

 

 When the Mahanta was in my corner.

 

 So, I smiled and relaxed 

 

 Letting the Master play the game.

 

 Thus, everything fell into place, 

 

 When I let it all go.

And got the Mahanta's love with me always
