Victory In Surrender
I found Victory in Surrender
This life is weird…
I flew off the tracks
Into deserts and wilderness
Forcing me to find a way out
Thorns and briars
Tore at my sides
This suffering surely must
Add to up something?
I pray for the whole world
What else can you do
For a lost cause?
Sometimes I dream
Of retreating to the country
And planting a forest.
Someday, perhaps,
We can’t give up just yet.
I spent twenty years
In exile from my self.
There’s not much I know
But one thing I’m sure of
Heaven lies on the far side
Of hell.
