Month: December 2023

turning every stone

to see

where is hidden

the responsibility

of what we do

and do not

do

might seem

a waste of time

until we turn

the small pebble

that looked so insignificant

yet

open the gates

to awe

staying in the darkness

as long as possible

while bitterness is crushing

the dykes of unborn dreams

build to protect against

the pain

which was already embedded

inside the fortification

unaware how

this would mean

the pain could not

escape

staying in the darkness long enough

for bitterness to crush

the dykes of unborn dreams

finally letting in

the light

daybreak also means

return of the shadows

and there can be times

where one would rather stay

in the dark

than having to face the shadows

apparently overshadowing

all that is bright

yet

allowing the eyes

to get used

to the subtle details

of the intricate drawings

between shadows and light

is a world of wonders

and utmost delight

awakening into emotional chaos

so much more chaotic

that no apparent reason

seems to cause it

is disturbing

allowing the storm

to pass

while keeping calm

might be the best way ahead

yet

thereby it is not said

how this is done

living in permanent panic

is undermining the awareness

in the most subtle manner

changing what could have been

fertile soil

into a minefield

of unpredictable

explosions

becoming aware of

a permanent state of panic

is devastating

until the relief pervade

and trust can take over

where panic reigned

constant kindness

genuine kindness

running

inwards

as well as outwards

embracing the shadows of shame

which have for so long

been weighing down

a consciousness given

rather to bring

light

into the world

going through

every single layer

of pain

in order to heal

what seemed

a banal episode

of homeless words

yet determined

the trajectory

of a whole life

when nothing makes

sense no more

it might be time

to pause for moment

and let

what was so far

invisible

reach the surface

to manifest

when the sense of justice

has been perverted

through abuse of power

peace is to be found

nowhere

though if one can find

the trust

that somewhere

justice prevails

hope might accomplish

what the intelligence cannot

and heal what seemed to be

forever lost

solitude as a human condition

to be accepted

as such

nothing more

nothing less

as the acceptance opens towards

the awareness

of everything

being part

of a whole

and what was perceived as solitude

can transform

into belonging
