Surrender!

Some way along the road

Humility found me crying by the wayside

About those things that cut like a knife

There I was lying bleeding

As the realisation came

There may be a way to be free of this

The possibility of surrender

Loomed a head of me

Like a familiar stranger

Wearing unrecognisable clothes

And those kindnesses of humility

Suddenly offered to thaw

Something within me that had become frozen

With all the hurting and lostness

Of life before

So now when I contemplate

The H.O.W.

Of recovery

Honesty and humility walk hand in hand

Open mindedness

Is a window that opened slowly

After all the storms of life

Blew it firmly closed

Covering it in an opaque film

And willingness is the place I found

When my knees could finally bend no lower

Showing me

There was no other power to trust

But surrender
