Flourish: To Let
Photo by Chasinghorizonsphotography
A poem by Alexis Ragan
To let is to lay down,
like when my head hits
the pillow or an egg
rests in its nest.
To let is to open up,
like when a bud begins
to bloom or the clouds
begin to break.
To let is to pause,
like when the rain ceases to fall
to offer room for the bow to spread
multicolored paint across the sky.
To let is to surrender,
like when the Son obeyed the Father
like when He let wrath run its course.
To let His blood sink in.
To let the people in.
To let freedom win.
To let is to truly live.
