monument

when a dark shadow

seems to be overshadowing

the whole room

searching for the monument

throwing the shadow

could be a way

for light to return

at other times

all one can do

is to leave the room

with the consciousness

that any shadow is

in its own way

an expression of the presence

of light

survival

when the courage to live

is leaking

life becomes nothing but

survival

and joy a simple idea

with no tangible reality

friends

making friends with the past

is a way for mercy

to settle peace

where shame has ruled

and ruined

banality

a reaction

of apparently disproportionate violence

to what in some eyes might be

a banality

can signify too long suppression of

what was

nothing but a healthy and just emotion

to begin with

not a justification to wage a war

but a sound expression of

a need for adjustments

for harmony to unfold

over

losing a structure

which have been holding one

upright through difficult times

can be bewildering

even though it might means

the most difficult part

of the difficult times

is over

clinging

leaving an order of things

behind

can be a challenge for someone

who is clinging

to living

in the past

wrong

a new order of things

does not necessarily mean

the old order was wrong

nor

that it went wrong

only

that it is time

for a new order

of things

sometimes

when the body is sore

it might be worth

listening into it

just as it mostly is

worth

listening into any sort of

pain

sometimes all it need

is care
