Surrender

Surrender; Dark path to release fear’s control and seek peace. Journey long; Enduring wrong; No retaliation sought In this battle to be fought within myself. Flesh cries out, Longing to shout, “My heart breaks, it aches. This task I cannot bear! Life’s not fair!” Surrender; Dark path without control To release fear’s hold. No weapons to embrace; But Love to seek And healing in this place where fear resides and terror takes its refuge.

Hi Cathi, Way to go! I love your writing style. The rhythm and beat in your words makes the poem a pleasure to read. The way you’ve brought out the subject of surrender, fear and love works very well. I’ll be sure to look out to more from you. Vicky.

My current journey to learn surrender is a great teacher. Though, I have to say I don't always enjoy my lessons. : ) Thank you so much for your kind words.
