unease
running under the skin
nothing dramatic
though
even slight ripples
on the surface of the water
is enough
for the mirror
to blur
until stillness
returns
in silence
staying
in silence
long enough
for the sound
to dawn
autumnal
golden light
on an autumnal forest
and quiet water
reflecting the glory
without any distortion
to disturb the transmission of
magnificence
undisturbed
dawn breaking into day
in golden colours
with the wind holding its breath
for the birth
of beauty
to be
undisturbed
taught
being taught
a certain set
of values
while
being treated
contrary
embed in the mind
a distance from
reality
building the bridge
to what is real
can take
lifetimes
and generations
where every step is precious
readiness
being prepared
does not necessarily mean
being ready
though it can give a certain
readiness
for the present moment
which creates a room
for the unexpected
and serenity
for the expected
to unfold
in peace
what we give
it might be
when
understanding what we give
becomes
less important than
giving
that
abundance begins
steadily
a subtle
silent flame
steadily burning
while the yoke of burdens
is beginning
to let go
and the acceptance of
the task
begins to grow
certain
walking with
the angel of trust
can on certain days
leave
some frailty running
under the skin
which does not have to mean
the angel has left
though it can mean
we are being carried
awestruck
feeling loved
is
fabulous
believing
this is what we truly are
where wonders begin
and courage is no longer
spectacular
rather
all the more awestruck
that it is subtle
