Gardens of surrender

Gardens of surrender
 
There remains a question within the heart,
until by grace, the Beloved One answers – “Yes”.
 
The Christ roamed this inhospitable earth.
Can He survive the remote regions of your heart?
 
Fly home, lover of God,
like an arrowhead of geese on the blue horizon.
 
Let this river of illusion flow through empty hands.
There is only one hand to grasp.
 
Let Him lead you through beautiful gardens of surrender;
          where all your heroes have walked before,
waiting for you now with open arms.
 
O child of God, will you enter the garden
or choose to linger a few thousand lifetimes more?
