"An Optical Illusion"

 

Letting go takes more

strength than holding on.

We struggle to cling

onto that which destroys.

A right to control,

a needy and manipulative soul.

 

The illusion of order

captures our imaginations,

casting spells

of competence and strength.

 

So much energy,

illusive synergy,

unreliable senses,

distorted dimensions,

yet, we cling.

 

We believe all goes according

to well orchestrated plans,

formalized demands,

outlandish commands.

 

This is the way.

I know best we say.

Limited vision,

directionless destinies.

Yet, we pursue.

 

What is the end?

Is there an end?

Yes, perhaps

to our strength.

 

Broken, battered,

torn and dismantled

is our strength.

 

I see a beginning,

of something.

It's new,

it's comforting,

invisible...

intangible...

yet, so real.

SURRENDER....
