sacrifice

falling asleep

in the arms of our beloved

with the blessings of

everything visible

and invisible

might allow us

to awaken into peace

abandoning body mind and soul

so fully

that the act of love

becomes

an act of prayer and praise

ultimately a subtle

sacred and sublime

sacrifice

procreating beyond suffering

equivalence

observing a rule

is not necessarily

equivalent to

obedience

depending on

whom or what

we wish

to obey

attention

what is by one perceived

as caring attention

might by someone else be perceived

as a way to wage a war

somewhere in between

the golden balance of

what can be called

loving compassion

is to be found

and the first step

towards that balance

is making peace

with who we are

lift

gently emerging

into new surroundings

new insights

new awareness

leaving behind

what no one was ever meant

to carry

raising

what is waiting

since the beginning of time

to be lifted

perpetual

being perpetually abandoned

can seem

a punishment

for a crime

of which

we have no awareness

being perpetually abandoned

can also be seen

as a perpetual invitation

to abandon ourselves

to what is beyond

our imagination

negative

being a serious person

does not necessarily mean

being a negative person

only that many aspects

of a given situation

are being taken into consideration

and that it can sometimes be

necessary to learn

focusing on the genuine

complete

even with all the preparations

and precautions

possible

a scent of unease

is still

in the air

as long as the abandon

to the unknown

is not

complete

simple

stepping out of pride

into humility

is as simple

as it seems

complicated

definitively

dreams

stirring up

old as new wounds

into a turmoil of emotions

with the unique opportunity

to drown

or bind them

and rise definitively

above

tapestry

when the golden threads

in the tapestry of love

are given

to meet

or simply cross

moments of grace

are opening towards

eternity
