every possible choice

reaching the crossroad

where

every possible choice

is leading towards

salvation

is where mercy

is accomplished

and freedom

found

regret

the sadness

and immense regret

of having permitted

transgressions

in the conviction of being

understanding

locked

odd dreams

reflecting

subtle changes

in a mind

locked

in a wound

which never healed

opening towards

scar formation

who we are

abandoning the expectation of

who we are supposed to be

can be an invitation to become

who we are

coded

that

being given the permission

to die

is perceived

as a declaration of love

can be confusing for a mind

coded to survive

pleasing

leaving behind

the obligation

to make people happy

through pleasing their wants

by stepping into the freedom

to love

a healing hand

receiving

a healing hand

on a sore wound

in a tender caress

where

what was twisted

anew

is being aligned

error

having placed our trust

in an untrustworthy place

might lead to making

the worst choice possible

in every possible choice

until something

or someone is able to reveal

the error

passing on

do not fear

is not the same as

there is no reason to be

afraid

just as

do not cry

is not the same as

there is no reason to

sad

the first is passing on

culpability

whereas the second is

offering forgiveness

and protection

nauseate

heavy cleansing

of deeper layers

leaving a nauseate body

and a mind of confusion

while something as simple

as obvious

is rising

in the core

of silence
