You'll Learn

…It's like letting go of a hand,
Tripping over the ground,
Falling through the ceiling,
Or having a nightmare when you're wide-awake.

But mostly…
It's just like learning to breathe all over again,
Teaching the heart to beat a different tune,
Landing in the sky,
Or rewiring my brain.

The whole thing's akin to…
Breaking a window to better-see the view,
A phoenix's death for life,
Or five steps back for six forward.

Or letting go of the hand holding you,
So you can learn to walk away.
