steady falling rain
inside
as well as outside
nourishing what had been left dry
for so long
to let purpose
grow
staying
reaching the core
and staying there
is like falling in love
and staying
in love
very
reaching the end
of a belief
can very much feel like
reaching the end
yet
it might also be
the beginning of
truth
empowering
living by convictions
can be both
empowering
and of great enjoyment
where living by faith
is rather
peaceful
and of deep joy
conquest
when insufficiency
pervades the mind
it might be
that pride
is trying to conquer
the seat of wisdom
to which
there is no better reply
than being humble
pervading
and then silently
after years of ceaseless fighting
peace pervades
like the smiling face of a loving mother
bending down
to take up her disastrous child
intense
being intense
is not necessarily
a choice
though something which can
be regulated
in order to intensify
what can bear it
and leave superficial
what was never meant to be
anything else
initiative
when every initiative
is crumbling
time might have come
to lean back
and receive
fruits
searching for signs
in the wilderness
while fighting against
phantoms of fear
might bear less fruit
than keeping still
and let peace reveal
what is
heritage
soft wind
fresh air
mild awakening
into awareness of
a reality
so far sealed
under a heritage of meaning
build on fear
