I surrender
Resistance is futile
Take a leap from the logical
Learn life’s greatest lesson
From a jolt of inspiration
Detach from the pain
Of all-knowing, all-seeing
Surge toward just being
Countless possibilities
More than the stars
Shimmering from afar
Sing to me
And what else I could be
Let go of what I know
And what I don’t
To explore the infinite
Boundless beauty
Immensity
Then turn my back
On brokenness
Unkept promises
And everything
That did not go as planned
For there really is no plan
Right here
Right now
Undone
Unspoken
The universe gives me exactly what I need
Not what I want
So I let go
I trust
Breathe
Believe
Finally
I surrender

This is really, really good. I love the idea of taking a leap from the logical to find possibilities as many as there are stars. That is what we are doing as poets, after all!

Beautiful poem! I don’t really get the same pleasure from the memos I write… but then again they are usually for my employer, not for me. 🙂

What if memos were done poetically? in stanzas? in rhymes?:))
