I SURRENDER

I surrender to earth;

I surrender to the sky -

Vocal shotguns in hands,

Shot up in defiant submission.

I surrender to the seas;

I surrender to the firmaments;

I surrender to life;

I surrender to death;

I surrender to the world under.

I surrender to my innate yearning,

Bathing in the fragments of my passion.

I weave my days into accolades,

Waiting on a speechless thunderstorm.

I surrender to bliss;

I surrender to pain;

I surrender to my distorted infancy:

Evoking a childhood I never had.

I Surrender -- Phylisha Gilchrease
