steady

soft mist

covering the landscape

preparing the mind gently

for a revelation of the kind

which needs steady tenderness

for the awareness to grasp

every detail of

its insight

answering

answering the call

is letting go

of everything

which hold us back

in pain

as in pleasure

piety

wrath mounting to the surface

in deepfelt indignation

over lack of respect

though nothing of the sort

is to be expected

where the sacred is not held

in reverence

only faked piety

in the place of fear

anything

where suffering rules

no more

what emerge

is more

than anything

of gratitude

and grace

set

subtle pain

under subtle rain

announcing different directions

than where the mind was set

claiming flexibility and care

vaults

throwing inwards

cascades of light

illuminating vault after vault

of mysteries

while carefully keeping secret

the mystery of light itself

homeless

knowing better

is a sad kind of attitude

all the more

that it can only provoke

a sad kind of solitude

where the spirit is homeless

and the heart barren

erosion

being told

incessantly

life would be different

if only

is slowly eroding

integrity

leaving no space for faith

to settle
