“I don’t want that” he said
“Don’t want to lose everything”
but everything is already gone
don't you know?
The one thing you are most terrified of
there you must go

The one thing you hold on to like you
can control it must be loosed
And in the loosening there is your freedom
From the tight holding
From the wanting

The wanting little boy
Who you hold with such care
Has to be in the back seat
You are the driver

This next phase of life
requires the man to hold the reigns
Just so
Not choking the horse, 
leading where your
spirit will lead

Holding yourself still and steady 
in that saddle
Till all the voices have stilled
and you just know where to go
wherever life is leading
