not to be acknowledged
for what we do
is one thing
not to be recognised
for who we are
another
confusing the two
is often tempting
though not the answer
to the pain it causes
when confusion arise
even less
the healing remedy
no doubt
no longer wanting
to justify
is one thing
no longer to doubt
another
prone
when another person’s failure
turns into be
one’s own reality
truth is lost
and when truth is lost
the inner compass
is prone to confusion
and where confusion reigns
suffering prevails
mounting
heaps of sadness
leaving behind
shadows of grief
mounting to the surface
while there is space
for them
to be healed
disheartened
being disheartened
when
the truth
which was denied
is being revealed
is natural
the time for life to expand
and reality
to find its proper balance
reminder
dreams of crushed faith
and fear
of humiliation and defencelessness
as to remind
that the realm of dependence
is now behind
and the gates of wisdom
ahead
reality
no one is supposed
to walk an extra mile
for a lie
no one is supposed
to go against
one’s nature
to meet
an illusion
no one is supposed
to inflict pain on oneself
nor anyone else
in order to fulfil
a fancy
yet
it can sometimes be painful
to face
reality
after the rain
being able to give
the body
rest
when rest is what
it claims
can be perceived
as sublime tenderness
on a morning
after the rain
when fear appears
gently leaning
to stay
with wisdom
when fear
appears
in order to let
truth
reveal itself
rather than giving knowledge
the final word
crystal clear
there are times
where
what we say
is not clear
though
there are also times
where
what we say
is crystal clear
and it is the person
in front of us
who is unable
to hear
then the challenge might be
not to let
the confusion
of our neighbour
become
the truth of our life
