Surrender Surrender to flow Surrender to emotion, fluid in my veins Surrender to breath caught between the shards of my rib cage Surrender to the ink lines left dark on sun kissed skin peeling with layers of memories Surrender, To love, the wind teasing at strands of garlands strung through mother natures hair, flowing Surrender, body to stream, floating in silken arms folding my aching soul into insatiable depth Surrender To the shadows nipping at my consciousness, ruling my inner mind and dampening my heart. heart beating strong, insistent, true. Surrender, past flames of heat burning to ash my hatred, my fear, my shame Surrender, to the infinite love released from white hot coals *Surrender.
