leave the shadows
to the shadows
and the night
to the night
deadlock
when the eager to live
returns
after a passage
through a deadlock
what was taken for granted
might be received
as mercy
what was expected
might be shared
with love
eloquent
after a time of
suppressed silence
the expression of thoughts
ideas
and emotions
might not be
as adequate
and as eloquent
as they seemed
in the depth of the mind
yet
expressing them is
essential
for reality to
reveal itself
refusing
reaching beyond understanding
is different than
refusing to understand
erect
standing erect
in the unknown
is
more than anything
a tender
relief
impermanence
walking through layers of scattered emotions
unearthed by the wind
left vulnerable
perhaps even broken
in the inner landscape
dispersed into fragments of causes
no longer serving as explanations
somehow inaccessible
to the mind
leaving behind only
the peaceful awareness of
impermanence
stir
heavy wind
howling over flat landscapes
stirring surfaces
of waters
oxygenating emotions
having so far dwelled
in darkness
waiting for light
to reveal
and liberate
the span of
their heritage
gleam
soft and tender light
effacing every shadow
in a gentle embrace
leaving only the gleam of
soft and tender light
faultiness
farewell faultiness
flickering flames
finally fainting
farewell faultiness
all shall be well
unlovable
being unable to express
the love we carry within
does not mean
we do not receive love
though it might veil us in the illusion
of being
unlovable
