a drawing

two glorious conversations

a written message

can be what it takes

to uplift a day

beyond the exhaustion

running below

every effort

to overcome it

whirling wind

after a long night’s sleep

still without recovering

the inner balance

which has been lost

for so many years

that it is becoming

almost impossible

to remember

it ever was

any different

but only

almost

and it is

in that very almost

hope is embedded

when giving care

was all

one ever wanted

to do

while being told

to be

a bundle of

unbearable troubles

it can take time

for the mind

to find the confidence

that giving care is all

one was ever meant

to do

breaking through

the stories

which have been

sunk into our being

long before

consciousness had any word

to say

brings clarity to the core

of every cell

truth is indeed

eternal

though

can only be grasped

in fragments

which makes truth

malleable

as we need to adjust

to the span

of our insight

always remembering

there is something left

we cannot see

silent falling rain

reminding

that wisdom is to be found

in a sphere

where knowledge cannot reach

where no pride

can enter

nothing be

understood

only accepted

and received

trying to prove oneself

worthy

of love

is a widespread tendency

in whatever form

it takes

as so few of us

are able to believe

that is what

we truly are

when the need for rest

is confronted

with the need for discipline

it takes a subtle listening

to find the balance

where both needs are

taken into account

songbirds eagerly announcing

how the light has shifted

how daylight is

anew

increasing

how there are no valid reasons

not to surrender

only a multitude of

good excuses

there are certain doors

in life

which can only be entered

through humility

yet

once the threshold is

crossed

eternity opens

ceaselessly
