Surrender

In the darkness of my soul, I found you.

A wandering ray of light in a grey cloud.

I thought I had found peace of mind at last,

from the serpentine mire of wearisome trivia.

Your love set me free, now I'm a bird

That loves the sky, and the wind beneath her wings.

Yet all the time while in the clouds she flies

Yearns for that sweet nest which she has built

with loving hands out of spirit, mind and heart

in your gentle arms.

And when your kisses blushed away my fears

I thought I would never have to cry again,

alone in the night, a hollow in my chest

and fill my days with empty dreams

My heart spoke with the finality of song.

I have delivered myself, my soul, my world

Into your caring hands,

And like a newborn infant

know no good but you.
