Surrender
You surrender
to fear,
to love,
to temptation,
to folly,
to the impulse to dance,
to the shyness always lurking within,
to your past,
to the taste of cold champagne,
to God,
to Satan,
to safety and walls.
You surrender
to lies, the ones you hear
and the ones you tell yourself,
to the charm of small children,
to the whirl of activity,
or the peace of introspection,
to the journey,
to choice,
to chaos and maelstroms of your own mind,
to the lure of power,
or the belief you have none.
You surrender,
and only you
decide
to what.

My apologies. I had no photographs to illustrate surrender, so I am pictureless today.

Pity the poor soul who never surrenders.
You covered it all.
Wonderful…thank you!
*You surrender

decide
to what.
(that is so very true)

you've outdone yourself today, this is the truth… only you decide what you surrender to.
Hi Tom,
Somehow I think we imagine that we only surrender to “bad” things, whereas we just accept and enjoy the good ones!
surrender — or submit — or just give in because it's easier that way … so many possibilities
