Success

in pursuit of the Magnum Opus

as I am a child of the Universe,

I choose

to converse with angels.

 

Someday

I will learn

the powers that define

true grace.

 

I will be

my own Greatest Work

when I surrender.

I was moved by your poem and few I've read do that to me. I got choked up: one of the proofs for me that a poem holds a universe of emotion is that it can race my heart, blur my eyes, give a tremble to my lip. And this poem did that for me. And you end it with the word "surrender," which is the door through which you finally enter to learn all the answers that once clouded your mind.

ah what a wonderful write - inspiring and powerful - the last 3 lines just make the poem for me "I will be my own greatest work when I surrender" - what a way to start (well end technically, but you know what I mean ha) the day!
