Surrender

The universe hangs talismans

of gentle, bold reminders.

We balance on the edge of change,

we birth change, and tuck it away.

A constant dance of nurture and rejection.

Somehow we are never distracted quite enough

to not hear the train cut through the still morning,

after we have forgotten they existed at all.

To not feel a swelling storm, a shift of heat underneath

an abrupt breeze.

What of the life that blooms and dies at our feet,

screaming with velvet tongues,

This time, don’t hold on with your life.
