I surrendered to love And I became myself But don’t imagine that surrender was easy For it was an unconditional surrender It demanded all that was false in me All that was righteous and arrogant All that was deceptive and manipulative All that was hiding behind defenses built to keep danger out And all strategies for survival of this ego self This love I speak so much about Is powerful and total It’s not the new age kind of love so popular now It can be ruthless and radical Its ‘no’ is as big as its ‘yes’ It wants all of you, or you may as well not bother I gave myself to that love It showed up unexpectedly And when I really saw love’s power I realized it was showing up everywhere In everyone's life There it is now, friend, can you see it? It is all around you, in every encounter And in every resistant thought Behind everything is love’s invitation I surrendered all I was to that love And I became myself, naked and free and real Before that I was a shadow of me A possibility, a potential, a game player Now that is all gone And there are no more shadows.
