taken

while clinging to

what will pass

either it be

pain and sorrow

or

joy and delight

the present moment is

so soften lost

though

while

for a moment

of bliss

we are given to be

in the present moment

what we receive

can never be

taken away from us

frightfully

trusting

what is

invisible

yet

real

can be

frightfully

demanding

though

what a reward

rewarded

when we ask

for our own

interest

what is rewarded

is

our own interest

when we ask

without personal interest behind

what is rewarded is

truth

dark corners

reviving old wounds

can look like

a repetition

of failure

where

it might be

indispensable

for light to reach

the dark corners of

our consciousness

where something was left

unattended

an invitation to take

the responsibility

for our deeds

while at some point in life

we were not able

to do so

and are still carrying guilt

without knowing

from

every act

departing

from guilt

might engender

destruction

every act

departing

from

love

might engender

reconciliation

every time

when losing time

is no longer

possible

since

every time

is

respected

for what

it is

eternity

becomes

tangible

and

mercy

eternal

holding in

summer rain

refreshing the world

after intense heat

bringing to the surface

what was held in

the time for the heat

to pass

sanctifying

slow

surrender

to

softness

simmering

summer

softness

silently

sanctifying

suffering
