Surrender

Surrender unseals a heart
It allows that which is to be.

Surrender requires trusting
To leave illusions of control behind.

Surrender makes the complex simple
It precludes false conflicts or diversion.

Surrender speaks not of power
Yet it walks a path of strength.

Surrender supports one's essence 
It does not give away the self.

Surrender builds on passion
By showing that heart's devotion.

Surrender reveals connections
It prevents misguided battles.

Surrender draws out the laughter
Revealing truths and open doors.

Surrender is not a me or a you
It exists in the world of we.

Surrender kills the pretense
Rejecting the false pride. 

Surrender lives in hope
Its a word for that open heart.
