limit

reaching the limit

is one thing

learning to recognise it

another

knowing how to respect it

yet another

reaching beyond

only possible

when all those steps have been

assimilated

brave

bravery can also be found

in what to the world might seem

of insignificance

and what to the world can seem

of utmost importance

having no significance

at all

bravery being

the courage to face

what can be faced

and leave what is to be left in the dark

till light has grown strong enough

to enlighten it

reward

negotiating peace

with every single cell

of a body

is just as demanding

as it is

rewarding

consolidation

reaching deep

whether it is to heal old wounds

or creating new openings

might challenge peace

for a moment

which does not mean

that peace is neither lost

nor over

rather being consolidated

deeper into the core

key

when time has come

to turn a page

holding on to

what used to be

the key of happiness

will only transform the happiness which was

into sorrow

and where everything was meant to grow

everything is lost

seizing

awakening softly

into generous morning light

is indeed

a graceful way

to seize the day

addition

believing that adding on more

will dilute what is already saturated

is all the more common

that it is an illusion
