believing we ought to be able

to carry everything on our own

might be the dark face

of trusting

someone is always there

to carry what we cannot

when speaking the truth means

losing the love

we believe to depend on

the habit of thoroughly

omitting a part of the story

grows into dependence

and in dependence

no freedom is

to be found

though by speaking the truth

and losing the love

we believe to depend on

the gates to an encounter with

unconditional love

are shut wide open

when only we dare to cross

the threshold

and believe

the more we face our own fears

whether or how others face theirs

becomes less and less of a concern

while mercy expands

and peace increase

navigating through mist

is a sensitive matter

where offences and vulnerabilities

are no longer visible

and hurt is running in silent streams

the fear of hurting others

as the fear of being hurt

while all we have to navigate after

is an inner map

of consciousness

and honesty

allowing every process

to take place

without resistance

nor acceleration

just unfolding

into truth

when fear is no longer

the prior motivation

for everything done

love begins

to grow

what surrounds us

might be the mirror of

what is going on inside our minds

without necessarily being a mirror of

who we are

while who we are

is rather passed on

than reflected

increasing darkness

cold nights

and longer sleep

all announcing

the autumn

with its different kind of

occupations

while guilt is silently

but surely

slipping away

a warm wind

playing with falling leaves

dancing to celebrate

courageous hearts

and loving souls

flooded by a wave of fear

with fragments of fragility running through the blood

while all sorts of anxieties appear

as the mind is trying to escape the flood

though through the soft and tender

surrender to eternal love

even fear is only there

to raise our hearts above

all inner turmoil and discretely point towards

the one and necessary act

in which while done

all fear is purified

in order to fulfil

a silent song

of peace
