and finally
almost unnoticeably
light begins
to return
day by day
increasing
the illumination of
the tangible
surrounded
surrounded by silence
and yet
so full
of noise
as the separation grows
nearer
for peace to settle
fully
breaking out
breaking into
ancient
brokenness
breaking down
illusions
breaking up
behaviours
breaking out
in joy
tiredness
old tiredness
mounting to the surface
claiming the care
it was never granted
in the first place
in order to recover
fully
enough
being ready
for the next step
is enough readiness
for the present moment
to be present
the past to be past
and the future
future
clock
a different kind of
punctuality
drifting on invisible tides
as trustworthy
as any clock
while no one knows
the hour
sensuality
inhabiting sensuality
after years of seclusion
is like barren land
growing fertile
after years of drought
redressed
only while
observing
and acknowledging
the true nature
of things
can it become possible
for a deviation
to be redressed
for a perversion
to be straightened out
for grief to be elevated
into joy
assimilating
a certain frailty
full of wondering
how
to assimilate
all that love
touching
touching a deeper state
of happiness
nothing to do with
ecstasy
rather a silent exaltation
of gratitude
