when mercy reaches
the core
of a tortured mind
the soul can finally shine
and peace provides
a gentle flicker
in the mind
leaving the nerves
slightly trembling
as nervousness embrace
every inch of the body
preparing to receive
the light
soft pink
calm sea
daring dawn
embracing a new day
a new way
of life
and then suddenly
hardly noticeable
a circle is closed
while the beginning of the quest
and its ending
is bound
into mercy and grace
when expectations are
overshadowing the moment
it might be difficult to see
what is already there
cleansing of
an irrigation channel
having been obstructed
for a long while
changes everything
and nothing
at a time
when vulnerability is no longer
a minefield of hurt
the heightened state
of its sensitivity
can finally begin
to unfold
in the solemn balance
between light and dark
where day and night
are equal
the rain might carry
mercy
and mercy peace
being perfect
is not worth striving for
rather a mercy
we are given
while everything falls
into its proper place
carrying the past
in order to avoid
future pain
is just like escaping into the future
in order to avoid the past
preventing the present from
unfolding
