losing things...
misplacing life
stuffed animals
a ring
articles of clothing
books
a memory
a name
all small deaths
reminders of
the impermanence
we exist within
the losing
grows
first crushes
early loves
dear animals
friendships
years pass
loss hastens
deaths come
quickly
unexpectedly
slowly
agonizingly
ever surreal
when they do come
using the small losses
as practice for the larger ones
over and over
letting go
breathing in
breathing out
all remains perfect
as it is
as it unfolds
in eternal harmony
with
the Tao
