When at a lost whether total or not,
it is always best to surrender.
Beaten requires submission,
surrender means losing graciously
Competing for a title of epitaph or land,
imposes on another.
So, losing a game or war forces
a surrender and accepting terms.
Maintaining an emotional balance,
contorts my being.
So, losing my temper or composure compels
a surrender and finding my center.
Answering a life’s call,
sustains a presence.
So, losing my way or purpose necessitates
a surrender and focusing my expectation.
Losing is a lesson learned
and the loser becomes the foil.
So, submit without demanding
and embrace the unknown.
