surrender

to touch things lightly

and let them go

would be the surrendered way

to remember to dance

with conflict tenderly

and allow the interplay of opposites

falling away from harshly entrenched positions

that only lead to fracture

Oh God please help

my aching heart

to dance

to surrender

the empty trances of thought

that lead nowhere

return my feet

to the path of love

and help me to remember

that new understanding

is most often birthed

through struggle

tempering thoughts

of guilt and innocence

within the forge of pain

freeing the soul

from being captured

or frozen solid

deep within

the hurting place
