the essential is not always being
what we are inclined to
yet it is still being
the essential
for us to make sense of
or not
perceiving one’s wants
perhaps even desires
is an encounter of great beauty
and potent power
compulsory for anyone who wish
to bridge
the sacred
and the profane
old shame piercing the surface
an owl calling for patience
wind whirling dead leaves
leaving nothing but
naked structure
when body and mind are sore
wisdom is
to rest
nothing less
but also never more
tasting some sort of peace
after a life in anxiety
is indescribable
as no one
who has not known
this state of fundamental
insecurity
can possibly grasp
the span of deliverance
fall turning gently towards
winter
fear falling gently towards
love
while daylight diminish
a different light might
increase
morning mist
announcing
an opening towards initiation
an invitation for some
to pause
an invitation for others
to escalate
it takes all sorts to make a world
standing firm
does not mean
being inflexible
though it does mean
holding onto
one’s position
when love is running freely
nothing is too small for it
to care for
nothing too big for it
to overcome
making peace
with oneself
is also a sort of
reconciliation
