Abandon Everything

whatever the cost, it has it's purpose
everything fleeting and wondrous
all things passing to something else
it swells
it shrinks
but it moves always towards or away from something, or someone

abandon yourself if only for a fraction of your lifetime
see it through alien eyes;
my eyes... his, or hers
remember it was new to us all once
and then it ends as swiftly as it begins
so beautiful

Abandon everything...
just once
and then you'll know what it really is to be free
