Strength in Surrender ©Dawn Minott |for Mental Health Awareness

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

Sometimes being strong is just surrendering
beneath the weight of it all
letting go of the armor we’ve worn for too long
allowing the tides to carry us
unresisting, into the unknown

Strength isn’t in clenched fists
but in open hands
palms upward, accepting
the rain that falls
the winds that howl without warning

Surrendering to the fragility of flesh
the vulnerability of hearts
to whisper yes to the darkness
trusting in the stars hidden behind clouds

It’s in the moments of release
that we find our authentic selves
unencumbered by the need to control
to dominate
to stand unyielding

Strength is the breath we exhale
when the storm presses close
the quiet embrace in acceptance of what we cannot change
the silent nod in surrender to the mysteries of life

Sometimes being strong is just surrendering
to the passing of time
to the ebb and flow of emotions
to the gentle acceptance of our place
in this vast, uncharted thing called
“life”
