Just another WordPress site
the nights are so long by now
that it sometimes seems to be
one long lasting night
though in that darkness
under layers upon layers of artificial lights
the subtlest softness
is to be found
weaving a kind of rest around the body
which is to be found
nowhere else
than in the depths of a darkness so dense
that it feels everlasting
not to look back
is easier said
than done
and yet
everyone seems to agree
freedom cannot be reached
without leaving behind
what was
not by denying the past
that is just another way to carry it on
but by turning every stone
until it becomes weightless
and then let it go
discovering new places
whether it is in the mind
in nature
or in the world as such
can bring a kind of relief
to know
that everything does not have to stay
the same
even if some circumstances
seems unable
or impossible
to change
there is not one way
to reach beyond
there are multiple choices
each and everyone
has to find their own
that being the whole challenge
the stars are out again
a fine seal of the moon
is slowly rising between the half naked trees
curious to observe
the alteration of the inner landscape
beyond the mist
mists are covering the landscape
mysterious morning mists
veiling the world
setting out of reach
what was considered to be
just in front of the hand
it is no time for exploring
outside the beaten path
but it can be a rich opportunity
for reaching beyond
sobriety might be
when one begin
to feel drunk on joy
one cannot pass on
what one has never received
one cannot receive
what one denies
one may not continue to deny
the obvious
some trees are naked by now
some leaves are holding on a little longer
it takes a certain wildness
to be natural
it takes a certain abandon
to be free
silent tears cleansing
what could seem to be
endless layers of shame
but endless layers of shame
are endless possibilities of transformation
there are many ways
to fight a war
and just as many ways
to end it
there is a time for everything
also for peace
