Shakespeare published 154 sonnets in his quarto in 1609. While the initial 126 are addressed to a young man, the final 28 are directed toward an enigmatic woman referred to as the dark lady.

I grieve
you say let go
I let go
The pain remains
you say un-attach
I un-attach
Tears fall
you say allow their fall
I allow their fall
Water cleanses
you say look below
I look below
Tether is gone
you say let it go
I let it go
Sky meets water
you say no beginning no end
I say no beginning no end
I am honored. Thank you! 🙏

Thank you Grace. My very good, aged friend who is a Buddhist Monk, has been trying (in vain) to teach me for many, many years to let go and not hold on to attachments. Maybe I’m starting to get it. Merriest Holiday Season to you as well. 🥰
