Surrender



A time to surrender
Step back
Retreat,
Revaluate,
Recharge.

Then leap over the mountains,
Penetrate those walls,
Navigate the vast oceans,
Race across the lands,
Soar above the clouds.

Surrender,
Heal,
Pause,
Reset,
Rebuild,
Refresh.

Then blast off to space,
Conquer the universe,
Capture a star,
Swirl a milky way,
And never look back.

About this poem

The word "Surrender." has a bad reputation and a negative meaning. In this poem I express that sometimes to surrender is actually to win.
