SEA OF SURRENDER

There are many 

types of waves 

lapping up 

on the beach 

of my life's 

felt experience. 

Sometimes 

the sea is still, 

and sometimes there's an ocean 

of fury and power, 

then little gentle waves, 

or irregular sets.

Then, there's that one huge wave 

that has crossed the whole ocean, 

accumulating height and speed, 

preparing to splash up and over 

my very beach and all 

that nestles near it.

I've felt the calm 

before the storm, and now 

I feel the energy generating 

for this one particular tsunami to 

roll over me.

Take me, 

take what you want, 

take what you will, 

wash me clean of that 

which is no longer 

serving me, 

I bow to you, 

precious sea 

of surrender.
