| Moment of Surrender Driven to see past a forlorn pain I lie await under the midnight sky Cool night air brings nature�s icy claws To tear the clouds and let the sparkles fly The sky envelopes into a falling, white light I lie still as stone upon this blanket of ivory That�s hiding the allergy that comes with Fall I gaze upon the silhouette of the trees Watching as the last leaves shiver as they let go Listening, I can almost taste nature�s frozen grasp Finally feeling at ease with the toils of life I smile with complete serenity The crystals caress my cheeks like butterfly wings As they glide like ice dancers down the curves of my face So quite is this atmosphere As the clouds patch themselves together again And float secretly away Silence overwhelming my five senses I can hear autumn give her place to winter While tasting the bittersweet scent of the wind I can smell every snowflake that has bore itself tonight In a glance, I see the memories of this front yard From mind-boggling fire crackers of a green-eyed child To the thrill of finally taking off those training wheels Thinking of the past in nature�s snowy hands I close my green eyes in sweet release And realize I can feel my exact moment of surrender Finally at peace With Mother Nature�s blinding-white purity Back |
