Surrender



Alone...

I make my last 
Surrender.

Gone is the need
To please,
The fear of more
Rejection
Yet again.

I stand 
In solitude...
The lone pine
On a wind swept rock,
My image reflected
In the water
Cool and clear...
The eagle 
Comes to kiss my brow
And life stands still.

I know
Serenity and joy...
A bliss
So sublime,
It takes my breath away.
And in my mind's eye,
I soar
Upon the winds of change.
Set free at last.

The moon 
Drifts across
The black and starry sky.
The loon
Cries out
It's mournful song.
All nature sings
In clebration
Of my coming home,
Complete in every way...
Fresh and new.

Alone...

Alone at last.
The shadows
All are gone.
The ghosts
Have drifted 
Far away.
My path is clear...
My journey has begun.
