GIFTS OF SURRENDER

“A flying bird carries a seed

To its chicks that are in need

And over the ocean it soars.

And on its wings sunlight pours.

And then it reaches a distant land

And the seed falls out into the sand

And in that space there grows a new species,

Never seen before in the land within the deep seas.

And the people come and ask about the tree that is growing,

These new flowers that it is showing:

Where did these colours originate from?

And they think about their own stardom.

How could it be that this unique little seed

Found its way to an island, for people in need?

Offering them the fruits to quench their hunger.

An answered prayer that left them in wonder.

And in a forest, a mouse loses his way

Searching for food, he spends most of his day.

But along the way he reaches a brook

Yet he cannot swim across with all that he took.

And so he leaves his collection on the banks of the river

For the ones who come after, to them We deliver.

As when they come they find all this splendour –

They were not hunting, they were in surrender.

And when you move to the mountains of ice and snow

And a man is climbing and he thinks that he knows

His way through the blistering cold

Even though others shared stories and told

Of how, when climbing this mountain, he should be afraid,

Organize his supplies – like ropes and a spade –

To ensure he is safe in the cold of the night

When no other humans will be in his sight.

And then this man, in the night, looks at the stars above

Shining in the sky, sharing Our love,

Reassuring him that We are not far

And within him is the brightest star.

And regardless of the journey that you have had to take

We shape you and mould you; and perfection We make

So that you can walk in the land and shine your light,

Lighting up the world, like it’s never been so bright.

And you wonder perhaps, what brought you here?

It was Our call to bring you near.

So, open your hearts and accept Our love,

So that you know that We are within you, not just in the sky above.

Thank you.”
