Surrender.

Let go,
she said,
let go
and embrace the
journey of the wind


Words spiralling
shooting sparks
from shadows
dancing in the dark

Stars
in my eyes
fear in my heart,
the illusion of
control falls apart

Surrender,
she said,
learn to swim
with the tide
In struggle
you still find
no guarantees

I seek freedom
in release,
understanding
in flow there is peace

The simplicity
of presence
quells the ebb
of defenses
that carry the wounds
of ancient tragedies.
