Surrender

Surrender

You are looking…do you see me?
Listen…can you hear the music of the spheres?
I come into your orbit as the sun cradles the earth with light and warmth.
Subtle, shimmering, silent…a shadow…a sentinel…
Waiting in the wings…waiting to whisper ‘yes, leap’…and then become the miracle of your wings as your dreams and courage take flight.
Waiting for you to feel…to know…to cry…to fly…

The shell of your ear is a cup that cradles the sentences and syllables that swim to your consciousness…competing for your opinions and judgements…your brain overfull of the files crowded with the scar tissue of relationship wrongs and the residue of words spoken in anger or haste…
And so, the shell of your ear is filled up.

The moon of your eye is clouded by the dancing spectres you have seen as real.
Years of tears have tried to wash away the shadows of fear, the splinters of separation, the burden of betrayal…
And so, the moon of your eye is shrouded.
.
Close the moon of your eye
Tilt the shell of your ear.
See with your soul eye…
hear with your heart drum…
I am an invitation to surrender to love…
seeping sweetly into your bright moonlit eyes
dripping Divine delights into the tender shell of your ear cup…
I want to fill you up…

Your heart is the clear, capacious vessel to hold this
beckoning bliss…this swaggering song from a sailor from beyond…
…to filter the cloudy cacophony of judgement and jilt the jailer of the ego…

I want to fill you up…Open wide these fresh eyes and singing ears…
look again…strength is soft and vulnerable…
and the greatest power on heaven and earth lies in the quiet truth of grace…

And now our eyes truly meet…
My gaze is a divine invitation to surrender to love…
to fall backwards into bliss…
to be anointed by grace…
and embraced by an angel…
