soft subtle rain

mild wind

preparing fall

while the body is

resisting the natural flow

of decay

as the mind is captured in memories

knowledge

and tales

believing this to be

the end

rather than

a new beginning

autumn odours

filling the air

as nature prepares

for decay

showing the way

to subtle layers

of eternal grace

expecting the impossible

is a fundamental misunderstanding of

abundance

undermining love

where love was only meant

to grow

it is the moment

we try

to possess love

that we lose it

and the moment it is lost

we grow aware of

what we are given

abundantly

whenever we accept

to receive

what cannot be possessed

unconditionally

and pass it on

the morning glory

beyond shame

is all the more glorious

that it is eternal

when shame occurs

it might indicate

something has happened

which have made us deviate from

the truth of who we are

creating caring surroundings

and space

for the painful

to pass

might be

more healing

in the longer perspective

than trying to make the pain

go away

being told

that what we see

is not true

does not mean

that it is not

though it might take

some practice

to learn

how to discern

between

the imagination of our mind

and truth

when the unsurmountable becomes

the stepping stone

to jubilation

the unbearable is transformed

into bliss

and weightlessness all

there is left

taking in

the pain

might be

to accept the difficult

not in order to please

nor in order to gain

satisfaction

or to be right

for that matter

but merely to do

what is necessary

for peace to prevail

without compromising

anyone
