surrender - to lay it down
when it
really means everything
because surrender calls you to let go
of the kite and the string
in a face-down
all-out
refusal to grapple with the Divine
surrendered
until that string is again
pressed into your open
hands by God Himself
and you are pushed
to a grassy hill
wind rustling through your hair
your Shepherd’s voice in my ears:
FLY
but, Child-
be still
until you feel
the blowing of His Spirit
wait for it
surrendered
trust that He’s preparing
that kite
the breeze
the perfect meadow
and your precious heart to take in the beauty
of His plans unfolded
in His time
soon enough, it’ll be time to fly, Child
soon enough
