Releasing this poem online as a dedication to New Ventures West PCC-X Cohort (2021): Congratulations on your certification and graduation.
Surrender
a voice I hear
calling for me
to return, to come home
to myself, but
where is my Self; how can I return to it?
what is this Self; how can I know when I’m there?
with each ebb, each out-breath
I allow myself to fall
and slide
down the shore
with each flow, each in-breath
I allow myself to be swept
and carried
up the shore
allayed by these rhythmic splashes
I fight no more
allowing
accepting and receiving
our pulses harmonized
I am the lullaby
the world ushers me
home.
