surrendering to less than common sense yielding to my baser instincts I gave myself up at the battle lines we have drawn in the shifting sands with hands upheld, and heart pounding I slowly overtook the border guard and lay prostrate at his feet, in abjection “Captured at last” he grumbled rather smugly and I wondered at his meaning, as he pulled me to stand while slowly, so slowly, our steps took us to the higher power to the throne where the Master sits on high waiting to drop judgement on an unsuspecting heart and there, hiding in the dark of the Kingly chambers waiting to pounce on my soul from the shadowed corners of the recesses in my mind, are all manner of creatures and demons in a somewhat painful move I rested my forehead on the cool marble step before the allknowing god of this domain humbled subject abject and I awaited his ruling over my heart fearing, yet not afraid the outcome of my surrender in a surprising move, the Master knelt before me robes settling around him in a navy velvet cloud his hands touching my hair, and his manner so gentle causing me to look up in wonder at this strange occurrance gradually realising he is smiling down at me as he lifted my chin, so my eyes can meet his my fears settled somewhat as he asked but one gentle question of me “Is there love in your heart my child?” slowly I nodded my head, unable to speak “Speak child!” “Yes, yes there is love here!” I shouted smiling, he sent me away with the guard to head to my home in a far off land but my steps could not tear me from this gentle man’s side and I refused to leave, I could not walk away for I realised there was Love in my heart, and it began right here I had awakened from a life-long slumber of non-exsistance and by surrendering all, I had gained everything A woman has got to love a bad man once or twice in her life to be thankful for a good one.

A very deep and touching write...much appreciated...thanks for sharing! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

for I realised there was Love in my heart, and it began right here I had awakened from a life-long slumber of non-exsistance and by surrendering all, I had gained everything What a beautiful description of the complete commitment love needs to thrive. *S* |
