A Moment's Muse

Surrender: A Second Take

photo by Bruce A. Garner

Surrender used to feel like a mountain to climb.
Now it just feels like the only interesting thing.

I shed the ideas and imaginings I have held onto like an old skin,
Their enchantment gone.

I have never needed all these muscles.
The universe knew how to run itself all along.

And it knew how to hold me close and dear.
It was only me that didn't notice.
