persecution

can occur

where it is least expected

which does not make it

less of a persecution

nor more of a crime

just a human condition

to overcome

by whatever means

we are given

moonlight

covering the world

in the particular shine of

moonlight

falling in through

windows of the night

enlightening with care

what is not yet strong enough

to be taken out

in full daylight

it seems that every breakthrough

takes a certain amount of despair

nothing to be

ashamed of

just

a necessity

for another part of what is true

to be

revealed

when the call is answering

the need

with surgical precision

joy becomes

inevitable

hanging on to emotions

is a hazardous alliance to settle

answering all sorts of unresolved desires

running beneath the surface

not to mention the wounds

claiming their share of affection

as love is being considered

out of reach

where love might be

all over

being able to forgive

from the heart

is a talent in itself

sometimes troublesome to carry

yet always graceful

to grant

being greeted by the moon

while walking alongside a poetess

who enhance the marvels of the world

by her mere way

of observing

and her talent to pass on

the gratitude she experiences

openness can go

in so many directions

being open

towards the world

is certainly essential

but sometimes

being open towards the world

takes a turn inwards

in order to discern

what we are

to carry into it

clarity after the rain

revealing different weaknesses

. . .

and deeper beauties

when unknown layers of reality

suddenly are being revealed

new areas of freedom

opens in the mind
