Poems

Moving Poetry by Dr. Julian Ungar-Sargon

Letting Go

Julian Ungar-Sargon March 15, 2009

Leave it behind

all this thinking

it led nowhere

worse

to doubt and despair

leave the analysis the depth psychology

the rationalizations and reasons for...

the science and the criticism

the theory and the mastery

Like the breakdown of a Bach fugue into some

mathematical equation

Lord where have we descended to!

like analyzing the Song of Songs for its grammatical

structure! missing its desire.

let go of it

let it slip away

let thinking itself

the monkey retire

allow the cloud of imperception and clarity descend

let Moses enter the fog

where the Lord is

let the is begin

being here

now

no-where else

and stop thinking.

sing a little

just a note

a single cord maybe

let the room vibrate and resonate

listen to the echo

is it you?

or who?

jostle the mind

play games on it

or it will catch up soon and overtake you once again

focus on nothing

just be nothing

now there’s a challenge/

stay with it

in your body

feel the buttocks on the chair

the ambient sound in the air

the sweetness of early dawn

and maybe, just maybe

you might hear the white radiance of eternity

and endure better

and for a moment be relieved by the weighty burden of

self and the shoulders will feel a little lighter.

maybe.
