I Don’t Know The Meaning Of “I Surrender”

I refuse to be dissuaded
Deterred or denied
The shelter & comforts
Of the other side

You can attempt to block me
From all its shimmering splendor
But I don’t know the meaning
Of I surrender

What is this?
What does it mean?
Rolling off my tongue
It sounds obscene

I have not relayed it
Nor is it referenced on my ride
No matter how bumpy the road gets
Or tumultuous the tide

Your steely contempt may rock me
I am a contender
I don’t know the meaning
Of I surrender

Passionately I have played it
Without brakes applied
My soul has been my compass
My heart has been my guide

They are exempt when life knocks me
Away from my defender
I don’t know the meaning
Of I surrender

I will move on till I’ve made it
Through the hurt that haunts my stride
Safely to the haven
On the other side

“Change Your Train of Thought”

30 Monday Jan 2012

Decide to change your train of thought
Out of what is ordinarily Influential on a one-track-mind

It has kept you chugging down a line
Nine times out of nine
Contrarily conceived
Ride an out-of-the-box car
Emotionally loco-motive and not necessarily naive
Decide to change your train of thought
It is you – you are the conductor
But it is primarily believed
Life & death have made you a passenger in an
Environment that derails you from engine to caboose

To re-train how you treat your precious cargo
Here is where you turn you loose
In a perpetual
New perspective primarily perceived
Golden at all stations where higher consciousness is stored
So at the crossroads toward your destination …

… You’ll let body, mind & soul get on board
