eliminating fear

is rarely pleasant

as fear

does everything it can

to keep its place

though what a grace

to see it

farewell

in the midst of

a sleepless night

being drawn into the spiral

of judgemental condemnation

while everything falls into

its proper place

is letting a shadow of fear

overshadow

the subtle joy of

fulfilment

though that too can be

forgiven

all one need is

to ask for it

when nothing turns out

the way we wanted

yet everything turns out

the way it was supposed

to be

freedom begins

to breath

when suffering

and failures

are no longer considered

a punishment

for wrongdoings

to be discerned

and repented

rather as an invitation to

raise above

by transforming tears

into joy

in receiving them

as precious pearls

holding them high

till light breaks through them

and makes theme shine

revealing the facets of suffering

to be

the facets of

the most precious gem

silent joy

running smooth

with no particular reason

to be

and no particular reason

not to be

being concrete

after a life of abstraction

can feel like

being born

again

nothing is acquired

everything is

to be discovered

and all which was

is no longer determining

what is to become

befriending anger

after a life in repression

is like finding gold

it has been there

since the beginning of time

waiting to be undug

purified

and hold in praise an honour

of creation

a day of bliss

and liberation

and then again

a day of learning

not knowing what

just perceiving it to be

a day of learning

ahead

hearing

the sentence

which the heart has been longing

to hear

for so many years

is as miraculous

as it is a simple consequence

of the same amount of year of

meticulous endeavour

receiving someone’s suffering

in order to let

the light which shines below

come to the surface

simply by

lending an ear

and listen with love

can be

the purpose

which had for a while

seemed gone
