surrender




Life is a journey we take

that becomes one we often don't like to face.

 

We learn how to love somewhere

along the way. Give in & surrender ourselves

to something more; something bigger

than you & I.

 

There is a constant battle of self,

a war of wits with everything to lose

& so much to gain if we would just wave

the white flag.

 

We don't often plan for the stops

life makes us take  along the way. All we can do

is wait patiently for things to be on track again.

 

I often wonder if the world even knows

what patience is anymore

 

& I wonder how it would feel to pull you

close to my breasts & hold you there.

 

Hold you until the sadness goes away,

'til today becomes yesterday

 

& we can forget

the rest of the world is still spinning.

    Your compassion and desirable intentions to alleviate (take on) a Friends furrowed brow with a warming smile and open heart, has warmed mine...

    And so we wait. Tenderness is not a fate, though, but a choice.... a courageous choice and an active gift.

    You have read my poems. Joy on a back ground of beauty and shadows of saddness. I know it is there. I make no effort to hide it. My past is not one of grace and light but more of grass growing through sidewalks. Nothing can stop you as long as you don't stop yourself.
    Love Tom B.
