surrendered

surrendered to my soul
she speaks within
a quiet whisper
creeps up into my mind

prepared from the battles
of life and strife
now a warrior
she holds her flag of truth

be that courageous star
that shines from afar
take each step
with time to settle and rest

surrendered to my soul
the murmur of a voice
that is a resilient force
standing eternally with you

it's been a mosaic of a life
that has gotten her this far
to set out on the sea
unchartered waters

yet the wisdom from it all
remains
heed your compass
you may be lost

but you're right where you need to be,
surrendered
