SURRENDER

Desperately needing to hold it together,

keeping the bills paid, the dog fed,

one’s wits intact:

Against uphill pressure, the gravity of getting old

 - creaking knees, time running out.

Howabout letting go?

Dumb loyalty to survive, sustain

habits, patterns, so-called stan

dards - whilst making a fuss and giving up, anathema.

The business of faith, trust -

for what, to Whom?

Let the Heart speak!
