Month: November 2023

obstructing the power

running through our words

in the belief

we understand their impact

might only be

another kind of

abuse

in the eager to consider ourselves

as good

somehow suddenly

somehow slowly

somehow softly

suffering makes sense

while the responsibility to carry it

is accepted as nothing but the glory

of transforming heaviness

into weightlessness

once the taste of mercy

prevails

every imperfection

find forgiveness

while a whole different kind of perfection

pervades

sudden change of colours

while sadness lingers

where joy was expected to be found

only to reveal

that beneath this subtle sadness

the river of wisdom is

running deep

opening towards honesty

after a life of

concealment

is upsetting the mind

while awakening every fear

being the reason for

concealment

in the outset

puzzled by one single word

returning after such a long absence

being

education

what does the word education mean

for someone who has none

what kind of education

did that person

finally receive

as we are all being educated

in one way

or another

even while not recognised

by any human institution

walking in an open wound

with a peaceful smile

while ignorant

of the suffering

and the injustice

taking place

all around

is unsettling

walking in an open wound

with a peaceful smile

aware of the suffering

and the injustice

taking place

all around

is an achievement

the shift of the moon carrying

tenderness and cold

as the first trees begin to appear

entirely naked

revealing their inner structure

in all its beauty

without the slightest shadow of

shame

soft rain

reminding

the sublime balance between

being the creator

and being

part of the creation

when what was perceived

a punishment

reveals itself

a blessing

the door to a world of abundance

is silently opening

outwards
