a soft morning

of tenderness

embracing the mind

after a day of grey

illuminated by

the encounter of

an angel

carrying peace and reconciliation

where no compatibility seemed

possible

doing

what is to be done

and abandoning

what is to be abandoned

sound just as simple

as it is not

though when

by grace

it happens

that we do

what is to be done

and abandon

what is to be abandoned

everything

expand

nothing is more banal

than the presence of darkness

yet nothing is more complicated

than learning to love

the dark part of

ourselves

shift of moon

shift of life

shift of focus

shift of light

no longer holding on to

the past

might be a time where

it is possible to stay

faithful in service

and victorious in suffering

the embodiment of wisdom

is

in itself

a conception

and as by every conception

it takes

all the necessary precautions

and

the presence of grace

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
