getting to know
the other side of the story
might not bring us
closer to truth
though
it broadens the perspective
in order to let
truth unfold
accomplishing
allowing truth
to be accomplished
does not necessarily mean
having what we wanted
just as
having what we wanted
does not necessarily mean
we were right
and what is admired
as
the perfect tale of survival
might not be
admirable
in the fields of
salvation
shiver
a sudden insecurity
a shiver of doubt
nothing dramatic
just a slight movement
on the water’s surface
while the morning sun
illuminates
the world
being noticed
without any wish to understand
rather
observed
as an inner state
to be taken
into account
silver grey
silver grey
and subtle skies
inviting
a whole different approach
to discipline
where the discipline is
not to push
anything
through
which is not mature
further
stepping into silence
experiencing quietude
where fear only rules
to be pushed further away
by every step
we take
where expectations are
only there
to nourish the trust
how
all shall be well
loyalty
being loyal
is a natural behaviour
running in the blood
though when
we are being loyal to something
going against our nature
just because
this is how
we were brought up
the spine of our being in this world
degenerate
while we believe ourselves
to be good
where
being good implies
being faithful to
what we believe to be
true
proper name
calling a situation
by its proper name
rather than describing
either what we have been told it
to be
or what we would have wished it
to be
is delivering truth
hence peace
if not with the situation
then
within
just as
being held responsible
for the shortcomings of others
is just as common
as it is
unpleasant
becoming aware
this is what is happening
liberating
crimson
a subtle sound
of soft bells
as the wind comes from the south
and the moon shifts
while the sky is grey
and one single crimson tree
is flourishing
in the middle of the green
delicate
breaking the law
in the name of love
is a delicate balance
to find
where all sorts of abuse
can occur
yet
breaking the law
in the name of love
might sometimes be
the only truthful way
ahead
