tensions of unease running

under the skin

while the mind is trying to

convince

itself how all is good

confusing the

ability to gain awareness

by the immutable

all shall be good

while nothing can be good

where truth

is denied

cleansing profound layers

of fear

is a subtle work

asking for deep care

what seems to be

endless amounts of time

and undivided devotion

when stagnated emotions

are suddenly brought

into movement

all sorts of perceptions

might come to the surface

and confuse

where clarity was the aim

only to let

insight gain

when doubt turn into despair

and despair is growing wild

peace turns into wilderness

of a kind

where the soul is no longer

given to shine

when carrying others burden

becomes the purpose of life

we end up being able to carry

nothing at all

while joy is all

we were ever asked

to carry

anywhere

solemn simplicity

sound boundaries

beautiful friendships

friendly conduct

compassionate presence

golden light

falling softly

on the wall

when importance

no longer matters

being aware what truly matters

might be

important

strange

how a memory

sealed by shame

suddenly surface

and bring

the episode

into its proper

perspective

letting the misery of

overpowering emotions

melt meekly

into worshipping wisdom

while

purification slowly

penetrate layers

still too dense

for consciousness

to approach
