Surrender

Innocence is brighter than light

Tumult suspends us too much

Indeed these things abound

Nonetheless, be not surprised

When we thank our hypnotic birthright

We astound ourselves with our thoughts

Which when they inevitably arise

We grow like the waves in this vast ocean

Notwithstanding the rise and fall

Everlasting deep and strong

Combining thrash and strokes

Of our minds life and throng

Succumb to faith all strong

When divine light arrives in our being

In which we bear so rough

Claim and feel it to its journey’s end

Surrender and rise to the bond
