Mick Talbot Poet Rhyme

Sweet Surrender

I won't surrender, I came from nature, 
She led me through my adult life,
Like silkworm silk spun to a filature.
Showing me how to wrongs denature
So sadly failing, for hate and war is rife!

Although still focused, my mind is ailing,
Full of compassion but o so very tender.
Like on stormy oceans, rough, rough sailing.
My mind focused, my strength badly failing.
So close to my final sweet surrender!
