awakening into frailty
and clumsiness
might be an appeal for attention
to a part of the being
having been neglected
for one reason
or another
while the rain stops
rupture
when something which
was never meant to be
is ruptured
there is nothing left to do
than to let it go
hampering
fear hampering sleep
not as possessive demons
occupying the mind with no mercy
rather as a gentle warning
that some parts of reality
are to be taken ยจ
into account
no matter the degree of challenge
this might involve
reign
golden leaves
covering the soil
carried to the ground by
an unusual mild wind
letting go of
old habits
leaves the structure of the mind
naked
and the body lost
the time for wisdom to emerge
where fear had reigned
isolation
accepting solitude
might be
a way out of
isolation
core
morning mist
covering the world
to let mysteries penetrate
even if only a little bit deeper
into the core
where being unable
does not necessarily mean
being useless
unload
lightning unloading
the atmosphere of tension
dead leaves dancing
on the road
while the body is striving
to find its balance
within a new centre of
gravity
literal
having spent most of one’s life
trying to make oneself useful
changing into
being useful
can be a painful experience
in the literal sense of the word
overburden
being overburdened
can be considered
a state of mind
as no one is being overburdened
by life
though one might easily come to believe
the responsibility carried to be
compulsory
singing
a single bird is singing
in the darkness
having forgotten
or perhaps unable to see
that autumn has coloured the tress
perhaps celebrating a soul
who is to be
celebrated today
