"Surrender"

A Poem for Piscean Purification

SURRENDER

by Jane Murphy

Timeless and formless, the
Somnolent soul
Sinks in surrender to
Limitless fathoms of
Blackness and silence, a
Bottomless hole,

Yielding, accepting
Whatever befall.
Downside is upside and
Upside is down in this
Emptiness full of what
Is not at all.

Numinous fantasies
Rise and recede,
Luminous visions of
Faces and places,
Peculiar events and
Improbable deeds.

Blind and confined amid
Morphing tableaux,
Endlessly wondering,
Aimlessly wandering,
Lost in a mystery
Nobody knows,

Blessed in the glow of a
Star’s secret beams,
Deep in obscurity,
Steeping for purity,
Sleep in security,
Shrouded in dreams.
