Surrender

a poem by Remigius de Souza

Meera, in surrender
Consecrated
You found life.

Surrender-
One way
One goal
One ideal
One bond
One end
An emancipation;

Surrender-
One personality
One support
One power
A martyrdom;

Surrender-
An initiation
A sect
A delusion
A sacrifice;

Surrender-
One man
One bed
A sacrificial alter
A gratifying pain;

Surrender-
One-way sweep of a swing
That never returns;

Surrender-
An ember buried
Under thick layer of ashes;

Surrender-
An everlasting illusion.
