if only

if only the world

was different

everything would be

good

if only life

was different

everyone would be

happy

though life is life

and the world is the world

just as it is

as we are all

just who we are

ease

ease as an invitation

to leave behind the state of survival

ease as an invitation

to act deeper

ease as an invitation

to carry responsibility

no longer as a burden

but a grace

accurate

being able to see clearly

what used to be covered in mists

is not always comfortable at first

though it allows the navigation of life

to be more accurate

and truthfulness to be closer at hand

today

golden morning light

illuminating the landscape

while the body is sore

reminding how there is always

a balance to be found

since what was the perfect balance yesterday

might not be the same

today

natural

being able to trust

that what could look

like a complete repetition of

old patterns

is in the contrary

a whole new beginning

is at some level so natural

that it almost feels suspicious

spot

awakening into grey

with a small spot of rose pale

somewhere in the horizon

announcing the break of the day

opening the mind towards the words

come what may

trying

trying to understand

what is not to be understood

but to be lived

is nothing but

an act of fear

trying to live

what is not to be lived

but to be understood

is nothing but

an act of fear

observing who we are

and describing what we observe

might be an act of love

both

to receive is certainly

a delicate art

simple as a sunrise

complicated as a storm

and yet indeed

as natural as both

devoted

freedom as a silent

subtle sensation

running just below the skin

joy as a silent

symphony of sounds

filling the heart

from inside

being devoted might not be

the same

as being dutiful

though it can sometimes be

mistaken
