dependence

talking too much

or saying more than is needed

is also a kind of addiction

and just like any other dependence

it is creating confusion

where clarity is needed

talking too much

or saying more than is needed

to escape the truth of silence

where every responsibility taken

is carried with grace

structure

inertia as a virtue

protecting and nurturing

deeper layers

of what is not yet visible to the bare eye

stars walking in an out

islands of clouds

while the night is growing longer

and longer

in between showers of rain

a golden ray of light

is drawing the contours of the almost naked trees

revealing the beauty

of structure

stories

the whisper of the wind

is carrying long forgotten stories

to the subtle ear

of long forgotten dreams

which were drowned under the weight

of fear

paralysed by hurt

haunted by pride

and chased by the lack of trust

every suffering heart

is submitted to

whether or not

there is consciousness involved

the whisper of the wind

is carrying long forgotten stories

may courage occur in the depth of hearts

to listen

walking

to walk the path we are being given

even when there is no glory

nor wealth

nor any other tangible manifestation

of reward

to keep on walking

simply because

it is the path

we are being given

and there will be no other path

more harmonious for us to walk

as long as we refuse to see

what we are being given

and who we are

nakedness

almost all leaves have fallen

covering the soil in gold

only a few trees are still carrying

their autumnal gowns

standing at the verge of the forest

lightening like torches

to celebrate the last ball

before winterly nakedness is all there is left

beautiful nakedness

revealing their strength and structure

but naked

in utmost strength

and utmost vulnerability

above it all

the new moon

is soon beginning to grow

balance

slightly dislocated

not to say

entirely

in between

two dimensions

of opposite realities

the clouds are low

in the distance the sound of an owl

on foreign territory

there seems to be no urge

to wake up to a world

out of balance

maturity

mist

tender mist

enveloping the world

keeping out

what is not to be seen

quite yet

allowing one to progress

blindfolded

by tenderness

until the heart is ripe

to receive

what belongs to it

just enough

there is just enough wind

to let a twig scratch the window

with quirking sounds

just enough sounds to remind

that all the agendas building up in the mind

are never to take over

presence

there is just enough presence to be aware

one is about to drown

in important matters

of no use

metamorphose

sleep

long metamorphosing sleep

absorbing every impression

transforming them into wisdom

written into the core of every cell

never to be the same

again

regardless

silence

along the seaside

without any wind

to stir the waves

only the generous movements of water

reaching the shore in tender embrace

stroking the sand

washing away every imprint

soon after it has been left

as emotions can swallow our souvenirs

soon after we have left the presence

and absorb them in the turmoil of memory

we are unable to distinguish

and yet carry

regardless in our heart
