I Surrender....

After endless moments
swimming against the tide,
missing the bull's eye
I languished
in the sand dunes of time
hurt, humiliated,
hostility hurling my senses
into a whirlpool of depression.

Surrender
was the only way out
of this unwanted, unwarranted maze
of human failure wrought
by the fueling of human pride
at the hands of ailing humanity.
Surrendering to you My God
I find my goal, my destination.

I find You!

oh.. this is nice.. surrender or sharanagati, expressing our inabilities.. exposing our weakness, ... completely unto his hands.. thinking that he is there to uplift us.. isn't it what ramanuja propogated in his theories..?
nice poem.

what a wonderfully open piece of writing - surrending to life is hard..trying maybe  harder than giving up..I am glad you have a voice that helps..Jae

Great poem with a beautiful theme--coming back into the fold of the eternal being, surrendering to the only one who is worth it.

Sometimes that is what I think of ... Surrendering to God

Shail Raghuvanshi said...

Thanks Altonian. Sometimes, that's the only way of coming to terms....

Thanks Butterflies, yes, The Lord seems to be the only worthy power before whom we can surrender tormented as we are all our lives by human fraility.

Thanks Sheila. Hope you are doing well.. Long time.

Shail Raghuvanshi said...

Yes Swati, we should think of doing it more often...don't you think?

nice the alliteration in the opening stanza leads to a frantic pace, but then you back it was down in surrender which accentuates your words very nicely...surrender is the best attitude to cultivate

Thanks Brian. At times, when things do go out of pace and the road is unclear surrender seems the right way out. And it has helped...
