Surrender

Tell me,

why all this:

wars within (globe, nation, community, family, self)

malaise maelstrom

& care is said to be weakness

amidst the war

chest, lost access to the heart

& nature reflects our ugly

back at us in

territoriality

expropriation

extraction

terror

extinction

the microcosm of a planet’s macro mode

of hate (self, other, you name it)

death defiant—

do not survive these tribulations,

re-dream the world.

sacrifice—I

incinerate all of it

into the burning fire

of karuna/ agape/ adoye/ caritas/ love

now is the moment

urgency

ding the alarm

for the divinization of consciousness

for restoration to beauty, light

& life itself

sacred planet

naked in the silence of pure presence

all are already liberated

within this

calling

yearning

hoping

praying

wanting

at the soul of the body

resonate without thinking

be present

witness it all in stillness

unidentified non-self

with no needs

immovable

courage to act as necessary

graduate from earth plane to

spiritual mobility of our species

adaptive mutation

from bodily manifestations of marginal matters

ego vs. Self

contest of wills, refusal

to surrender

to accept all as it comes

to adore all that appears

devotion

the ultimate disappearance of the unreal

for such is, absolute.
