When you're going downinto the depths,
there's only so long
you can hold on;
at some point
you'll find yourself giving up
and jumping into it.
And here's the good news:
Once you stop holding on
you'll find that all those tears
buoy you up --
rather like the Dead Sea:
the salt content
makes it impossible
to sink.
So release:
One hand,
one foot,
now swing out into trust -- and just...
let go!

This one seems to have a different tone from some others; it's written in a more free-feeling voice, as if you've let go yourself of something that once was heavy on your mind or holding you back.
The ladder adds an interesting perspective.
I love the imagery of my tears bouying me up!
