skilfully

finding ways

to justify desire

can very skilfully be

confused with freedom

just as taking pleasure

without being prepared

to take the consequences might be

confused with joy

around

patiently letting

grace unfold inside

while mildness unfolds

around

danger

indifference is an awful state

to be in

dangerous

to a certain extent

though beyond that extent

while danger has been overcome

a subtle blessing is

softly unfolding

haunted

approaching vulnerability

while the wind is haunting down

the fragile beauty

of blossoming trees

approaching vulnerability

haunted by fear

of losing faith

while grief is haunting down

the inmost corners of

an open heart

approaching vulnerability

no longer haunted

yet receiving with grace

the subtle beauty to be found in

every peaceful face

subjection

being able to abandon

a destructive habit

after years of

subjection

is a liberation of

the soul

rivers

trust running deep

in rivers of healing

while spring unfold

into glory

extending

and from that area of peace

to be found within

mercy extends endlessly

towards the world

areas

when every area

seems painful to approach

it might seem impossible

to find

peace

yet somewhere

in the depths of every being

an area of peace is to be found

when being approached

with compassion and love
