strong wind whirling

while

broken emotions surface

breaking into

tenderness

knowing what

to ask forgiveness for

and when

is essential

for truth

to prevail

when who we are

is being

perpetually scolded

as naughtiness

we end up being

nothing but

naughty

in our persistent effort

to behave

asking for forgiveness

for something

we have not done

because

someone else

refuses

to take the responsibility

for what

they have not been able

to do

is perpetuating guilt

nourishing shame

leaving the one who asks

lame and crippled

the one who refuses to take

responsibility

ignorant

and the world without end

out of sight

soft falling rain

and a sleepless night

providing

deep inner healing of

unworthiness

refreshing the profound layers of

faith

which had suffered drought

for what seems to be

ages

confessing to a person

with no authority

to forgive

is entering a spiral

of unworthiness

it can seem

impossible

to escape

when

honesty

and openness

are considered

weaknesses

and weakness

a state

to be taken advantage of

in order to protect

or simply satisfy

oneself

fear is fed

where honesty

and openness

are weaknesses

which allows

the light

to enter

the world

lightning our darkness

can sometimes be

all

we are able to do

though being able

to do so

is

all we were ever asked

no longer giving in

to control

can mean

being

utterly lost

for a while

whilst

the light

enlighten

the flame

of intuition

illuminating

the sight

leaving the instinct

behind

in order to receive

intuition

while every cell

of the body

is ruled

by fear

is almost impossible

though only

almost

tender sunrise

over a frosted landscape

a frosted landscape

covered by

golden tenderness

revealing what seemed

to be

unbearable

to be an ocean of

grace
