surrendering all

R. A. Douglas

opaque and bleak dreams

malleable to the wills 

of common lovers and liars;

respect demanded, but never earned

love extracted, and never reciprocated

our vessels empty, like dry bones

until we gave up all that we had not

surrendered ourselves

laid it all down

our burdens beneath us

crowns trampled at our feet

humbled,

poured out to be refilled,

revived,

loved.

R. A. Douglas. A poetess, novelist, and Christian Lifestyle blogger. Writing is a form pf expression and a way of life for me. I am a Christian, though not always a perfect example of one. This blog exposes the cycles of my ever changing life, including the growth and/or changes in my walk with God, and the highs, lows, and fluctuating differences in my reactions and actions towards the typical and atypical experiences that are inevitable in day to day life. I hope you enjoy it, and thank you for reading. Bless.
