just let me go <br />I want to see the careening blue <br /> without connections <br />let me be a single strand of perfect green <br />wave with the wind <br />tumble down jagged faces <br />freeze on the sharpest peaks <br />float through eye-blue cloudless skies <br />let rain seep through me <br /> becoming one <br />leap through the tallest canopies <br />I want to be found in the hostile white <br />carried through and eroded by uninhibited strength <br /> <br />just let me go <br />feel my toes holding in deep ground <br />feel my arms extending in open air <br />let me be a single strand of perfect green <br /> an extension of myself <br />to be the face that endlessly eyes the shores <br />to lilt and tumble in a stream’s easy wake <br />float through eye-blue cloudless skies <br />sail to the ground on a cool purple morning <br />let me set among rolling hilltops <br />let my light come beaming through gray <br />carried through and eroded by uninhibited strength <br /> found<br /><br />Jesse Maizlish<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/proteus/
