Poetry

Gladly will my heart surrender
At the closing of the day
When my eyes shall rest in slumber
Chasing sorrows fast away

Then to ‘bide in peace and silence
As the world soft fades from sight
Drifting into realms celestial
At the coming of the night

Yet the dark brings sweet redemption
Bearing thus another day
When the light shall shine within me
So that I am cast away

Floating high above in splendour
Where there is no thought of I
Nothing there will be my captor
As all fear shall pale and die    

In the stillness of my being
So to seek the rising sun
With all worldliness transcended
Melding into all as one
