Cathi Spooner Poet Prose Poetry

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.

Cathi Spooner August 8, 2013 at 1:23 PM 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.
