Detachment

detachment is
the thin thread
that holds
and lets go
with love,
as the kite
grows wings
in the open sky....

detachment is
to see joy
and pain
as two sides
of a coin,
and be
in the space
between the two...

detachment is
to see the world
as myriad expressions
of the same energy
that flows
in you
and me
without making each
my own....

detachment is
the struggle
and the triumph
of what it is
to be the divine,
in human form...
