Month: March 2021

incandescent anger

perhaps for no reason

though still burning through old layers

of stagnant emotions

separating slags

from the noble essence

while winds blow what is superficial

away

purifying what is to be purified

for the soul to shine

tending ones own needs

does not necessarily mean

that the rest of the world

is to tend them too

though believing it is the rest of the world

which prevents us from doing so

might just be another way

to escape responsibility

despite a light heart

heaviness is to be found in the body

and resistance in the mind

just as nature have to span over

the cold nights

and the generous rays of sun

bringing life to the surface

the measure of balance

is to be found

in the state

which embraces

the whole

wakening into a dusty sunrise

and a world covered in frosty white

is worth celebrating

to search

and have found

is indeed worth celebrating

year after year after year . . .

while the moon is playing hide and seek

behind naked trees

birds announces faithfully

another day of bliss

just as the moon is not less glorious

just because it is half

life is not less fulfilled

just because it is lived out

inwardly

there are so many ways

to love

not one is more right

than the other

but only one way is right

for each and every one

fountains of suffering emerging

transforming into an impenetrable cloud

of emotional pain

hanging over the landscape

while spring continues to push

through layers of old darkness

for life to emerge

the moon is walking

in and out

the transparent layers of clouds

in an elegant dance

with shadows

calling the reality by its proper name

can sometimes be

a shaking experience

while the scaffold of illusions

is falling a part

walking into the pain

through the night

eyes wide open

no longer searching to explain

nor to eradicate

just observing how suffering

undulates

like any other sort of emotion

there is no shame in suffering

even less

in setting it free
