we let go

we let go,
release our hands
from the grip,
we leap
and fall into the warm
abyss.
we empty our minds,
our hearts.
we get clean.
get fresh.
go back to who we once
were so long ago.
we start over
vowing to never again
stay dark
stay sad
for so long.
let the new year begin,
as the old
one fades
into the past.
