Surrender

Surrender
Quizmo LaGrande

Surrender to the wind
To the ocean’s calm reflection.
Wonder which is real
Or merely recollection.

Surrender to the breeze
Laze about in warm abduction.
Ease about like sails
Full with zephyrs of seduction

         That can whip about like fire
         In an instant of corruption
         A coldness—icy, horrid
         A blatant interruption.

Surrender to the currents
Anchor not the inclination
That with the tide, so goes the will,
Independence, and salvation.

So…

Surrender to reflection,
To the ocean’s charming glance.
That the image you are seeing
Is not merely there by chance.

Surrender to the vision
Cast by mirror’s goading grace
That publicly announces
Your smile or brooding face.

Surrender to the wonder
Of a likeness in the glass
That indicates a sadness
Or happiness… at last.
