Letting Go

©1986 Andrew Calhoun, unrecorded

There was no pain, just a giddy unwinding
There was no sound, there was only singing
And a sweet impatience, and a heartful rendering
Of hope
Where are the nurses, where is the doctor
Where the window, the sun shone through
There were no tears, there was only beauty
There were no people, there was only love
There was no language, but the word that shone before him
That the light came from
