surrender to your problems, the solution's around the bend
unfurl your clinched hands and hold them up to heaven--if only for a moment-surrender
release your inner most struggles-choose to be free-
don't wait until that perfect day---those days have lines still waiting, nervously--
surrender to your breaths as you take in the air of redemption --as you move toward that thing in the unseen reveal--
loosen that tight hold on the thing that is not holding you in place---
and fall fall fall into that sweet moment of surrender and rest
I so like this; I need to surrender more to get that rest. I don't know why sometimes it takes us so long to surrender; why we hold on too tight to that which would be better served by surrending it to God.

DeleteThere is so much that can hold us back and push us down if we let it. It's up to us to break free and like you say the time is now.

DeleteYour words hint at your poetic turn of mind. Does summer affect you that way, Lynn?
ReplyDeletei don't think it does particularly---i have always fancied myself a poet first---probably fall and winter bring it out in me more---thanks for reading and asking d.g.!
DeleteBeautiful. It's sometimes so difficult to surrender, but in the end, it's vital to getting through the days.
ReplyDeleteit really is the only way--thank you christine:)
DeleteIt seems that I have needed to surrender more than I do. Pain is a good indicator! Lovely post.
ReplyDeleteawww i am sorry for any pain you are having--thanks susan :)
DeleteThis is beautiful! I hope you got a freeing feeling after putting it down on paper. The act of writing it seems like it would be a surrender to me
ReplyDeleteit really did help--thanks so much heather :)
DeleteI am waving the white flag, honest. But lately it feels like more of a caution flag in which the cars are still coming at me, just using caution to only leave me maimed.
ReplyDeleteDeep cleansing breaths....
i understand the feeling, juli :)
DeleteI love that!
