an almost full moon
mirroring
on silent waters
reflections
of reflections
of light
while the source is to be found
deep inside
once the mind is stilled
the body appeased
the spirit reposed
for the source of eternal light
to shine bright
wiping
golden shades of rose
covering the world
day
after day
after day
softly wiping away
the memories
of what was only meant to be
forgotten
submitted
no longer to be
submitted to
the dependence on
a perverted mind
leaves space for love
to grow
and mercy
to flow
feeling
no longer feeling
to be
a burden
is indescribable
when that is what
one has felt
all life
leaving space for love
to rule
where fear had reigned
golden
peaceful quietude
golden morning
where nothing is
to be pushed through
as every is
in its proper place
and all shall
be well
inviting
an insisting bird
accompanying dawn
silent waters
and softness
embracing the day
inviting peace
to stay
beyond words
walking out of
superstition
into
faith
is in some ways
beyond
words
relenting
to relent from pride
is all the more challenging
that pride in itself
will do everything
to avoid it
yet
relenting from pride
is what allows
humility
to shine
old
answering a declaration of love
by a declaration of war
out of fear
of losing
our privileges
is a story
as old as humanity
it does not make love
less compassionate
nor war
more justified
it is just
the way
it is
as long as
fear is
around
fever
allowing a fever
to do
its work
in order to restore
balance
where imbalance had
occurred
is
essential
