THIS IS AN OLD POEM. I USED TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS BUT I AM FINDING IT HARDER TO DO NOW. SURRENDERING IS GETTING HARDER AS MY BODY AND LIFE DETERIORATES MORE AND MORE
Surrendering to the darkness I sit,
Letting its arms wrap around me, rock me,
For by no other is my dark life lit,
Only in the dark can I truly see,
Waves of peace wash over my aching soul,
Soothing, calming my ever raging storm,
For I have tried so long to reach a goal
Not of my own making, how I was torn,
I knew that in the dark there was more light,
For in the dark I see with different eyes,
The eyes that walk by faith and not by sight,
And in the darkness now my spirits rise,
The light deceives false comfort offers me,
Embracing dark I can be truly free.
