Giving in

Once upon a time

I knew the familiar,
And all that
That was certain,
I knew to love
And hold on,
I knew the busy aloofness
About the business,
I knew the words
And the prose,
I had heard the heart
Pumping and beating;

And then,
I learnt the language-
Of breathing,
And how the poems came
From my easiness,
After I had learnt to
Give in.

How truly delightful! To breathe, to give in...what a lovely way to say it.

I believe the poem would have more power if you deleted the first stanza. The other two are very powerful. Beautiful writing!

I love the second and the third verse
As for the first verse I think Letting go sounds better than let go
Just an opinion though
