Holding On, Letting Go

They say hold on.
They say let go.
Tension –
Release.
Tension –
Release.

I’ve stood on the precipice
Of life and death
Far too long –
Tarrying
Worrying
Teetering.

Will I fall
Or will I fly?

There is no middle ground
No compromise
Only yes
Only no
What will it be this time?

In holding on I find hope
But in letting go there is peace.
