Letting Go

I'll find God beside me
when I turn from one world
to the next,
waiting for me to reach out
and take the beating vessel
of my dreams
gently
with both our hands.

We'll wait until my fear
of letting go fades,
when it finally feels good 
to drain the musty ferment
of a whole life's longings.

That's the last step
in becoming lighter than air.
