She Surrendered

She surrendered

She let go of the fear

She let go of the judgments

She let go of the opinions

Swirling in her head

She fired the Committee of Doubt

and Indecision

That had her running around in circles

She let go of the “right” decisions

Understanding it was just her human will

Trying to exert control

And without hesitation or worry

She let it all go

She surrendered

No one was around when it happened

No one gave her applause

Or praised her

No one noticed a thing

Because no one ever does

And if they did

It did not matter

Like a leaf falling and floating

Down from a tree,

She let go and could breathe

There was no effort

There was no struggle

Only a sense of a relief

And in that moment of letting go

She embraced faith

She found peace

A small smile curled her lips

As tender breeze blew through her

Warming and comforting her soul

And she beamed like the sun

And she glowed like the moon

She surrendered
