Letting Go

 So fragile,
easily broken;
   we hold our breath
lest the tiniest vibration
   shatter it into
 a million pieces.
     But trust
 cannot grow
  under watchful eyes,
    untried by fearing souls.
    It cannot reach
 the light
  when shadowed
 by the darkness
     of  unforgiveness.
 It cannot breathe
    when smothered
  by suspicious hearts
     and grasping hands.
    It cannot live
   where there is not
         love.
