All Good Things

source
If all good things must end
then how to explain us?

I used to be afraid
to feel too good
Kept myself tethered
so the inevitable fall 
wouldn't hit too hard

Now 
I let my joy fly 
like a newly fledged bird
and I need not grieve
its ending
for each ending creates 
Space
for the beginning 
of something even
Better.

smiles...i like how you turn that saying on its head...and i know a few that kept them selves in check not to get hurt in the fall but how freeing just to let yourself go to joy...

There is a Khalil Gibran quote for this 'Every end is a new beg ginning' - you hit the ail on the head!
