for things that do not work


for things that do not work,
leave them. Do not force a door to open,
you may break the locks and soon when you want them closed again,
you may have a hard time going back.

for things that do not go with you, leave them,
let them be
themselves, for like you they are free to decide
to close or
not to close,
leave them as they are, the seasons will come
to please them
and they too shall please themselves.

and so today when i close the door, leave me.
in my sleep i will dream. And in my dream i will open some windows
i will see what you have not seen
and will feel them for you.

when i wake up again one morning
when you are not here, i let you go, i ask no more.

i am free and so are you. we promise.
when we meet again, we tell stories.more stories about freedom.
more freedom. more. and many more.

now tell me, what is it? what are they? what are we? where are we going?
