(mostly) short poems on life and love

i, surrender

December 6, 2017 by Michael Guerin

not to a thought
but for how it often
takes root.
not any idle wish
but the impulse to make one
at all.
and not those images
perpetually in mind
but what they might possibly
mean.

somewhere between
the ego’s craving and a higher self
whose whispered breath
is but a sweet caress
to a seemingly deaf
inner ear
you’ll find me waiting,
forever surrendered.
