not to feel safe

is an undermining state to be in

for whatever reasons might cause

the insecurity

having nowhere to go

is unsafe

having nowhere to go with ones insecurity

is ending up in stress

stress is diminishing the faculties of the brain

limiting the flexibility of the intelligence

there can come no vision

to a stressed mind

its only hope is

that the heart may not give in

sometimes

coming back to the world

even if only after a long nights sleep

can be longer

than what is expected

the wind is drying the landscape

after a day of heavy rain

telling stories from times

long gone

telling stories from times

to come

the nights are so long by now

that it sometimes seems to be

one long lasting night

though in that darkness

under layers upon layers of artificial lights

the subtlest softness

is to be found

weaving a kind of rest around the body

which is to be found

nowhere else

than in the depths of a darkness so dense

that it feels everlasting

not to look back

is easier said

than done

and yet

everyone seems to agree

freedom cannot be reached

without leaving behind

what was

not by denying the past

that is just another way to carry it on

but by turning every stone

until it becomes weightless

and then let it go

discovering new places

whether it is in the mind

in nature

or in the world as such

can bring a kind of relief

to know

that everything does not have to stay

the same

even if some circumstances

seems unable

or impossible

to change

there is not one way

to reach beyond

there are multiple choices

each and everyone

has to find their own

that being the whole challenge

the stars are out again

a fine seal of the moon

is slowly rising between the half naked trees

curious to observe

the alteration of the inner landscape

beyond the mist

mists are covering the landscape

mysterious morning mists

veiling the world

setting out of reach

what was considered to be

just in front of the hand

it is no time for exploring

outside the beaten path

but it can be a rich opportunity

for reaching beyond

sobriety might be

when one begin

to feel drunk on joy

one cannot pass on

what one has never received

one cannot receive

what one denies

one may not continue to deny

the obvious

some trees are naked by now

some leaves are holding on a little longer

it takes a certain wildness

to be natural

it takes a certain abandon

to be free
