Surrender

Sun dried tears and wayward dreams are often left unseen
as are muffled cries in the night and lingering wishes in the sky
as the egoic travels of an untamed mind ponder unsettled desires
only adding fuel to the burning embers of the inner flame
a body weary and devoid of rest searches for peaceful slumber
as the unheard thoughts of an illusory mind seek answers, validation
which leaves a lonely mist filled heart to exist all alone
agitated by psychic pollution amidst a painful losing battle
meanwhile all the answers can be found
in the hush between a moment's pause
in that place called stillness, sanity does freely speak
and so it softy whispers...surrender, and you'll fly free

Noelle-yes, it's true we must let go to truly fly. Must be able to risk the fall once more or we'll never be free. Lovely piece. ~rick

Hi Noelle again
Yesterday ( 09/09/09) I wrote a poem (No More Ideas) thinking mostly about you and the "no ideas" we mentioned the other day.- I would really appreciate it if you could have a look at it... Thank you in advance... :)

Truth set in words. Especially like "all the answers can be found in the hush between a moment's pause". Beautiful imagery.

An inspiring write full of wonderful weaving - of course I love the line "a body weary and devoid of rest searches for peaceful slumber" Oh for sure this had me reaching for my soft pillows. Thank you - lovely
