neglected

when every sense of

purpose and responsibility

are neglected to satisfy

a personal desire

nothing truthful thrives

needed

what a grace

to receive

the help needed

at the proper time

what a grace being able to

accept

that the proper time

might not be always

on us

to decide

telling

heavy grey

strong wind

disconcerting dreams

telling

that care can be lost

while giving in

as love vanishes

under any sort of

criticism

arid

reaching the end

of a long stay

in the desert

of solitude

where everything

is arid

where life at times

seems barren

yet

so much is

alive

blind

being blind

yet

able to see

can sometimes be

an awkward position

in which to be

in between worlds

of glory

and realities of misery

distraught

not knowing how

to make it

through the day

despite

all the means

one could wish for

can be debilitatingly

distraught

waking

waking up

to panic

for no apparent reason

spending a good part

of the day

to find peace

can also be considered

an exercise

to discern the essential

though

what a grace

when suddenly

waking up

with a smile

opportunity

no longer taking

everything

personally

might be

an opportunity to face

oneself

facing oneself

an opportunity to face

the world

facing the world

an opportunity to receive

what is beyond
