dryness

soft winds playing

with dry leaves

as the drought drags on

and life is holding on to

what is

thorough

blessings often come

in odd shapes

and sizes

a thorough humiliation can be

a blessing indeed

when only being

properly received

quite

being quiet

when time is

to keep silence

can be difficult

though no sound is quite as pure

as the sound of

silence

guard

breaking free

of inner chains

is all the more difficult

that the most ferocious guard

is sometimes ourselves

means

when fear is running wild

and no rest to be found

in no matter how many hours

of sleep

other means

are to be taken into account

to find peace

defeat

surrendering to love

has nothing to do

with falling in love

the latter might be difficult

to resist

where the first takes all the courage

of the heart

to defeat

all

when the end of comprehension

is reached

all which is left

is love

tendency

so tired

that even thinking seems

impossible

yet

it is in these states of fatigue

that thoughts have a tendency

to run wild

during

talking into the silence

during the night

can sometimes be

the best way to express

what is otherwise too difficult

to say

extinction

facing reality

can be a bittersweet encounter

bitter to see the illusion

fall apart

sweet in the sense

that by the extinction of every illusion

freedom expands
