educated

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

peaceful

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

entirely

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

sublime

soft rain

reminding

the sublime balance between

being the creator

and being

part of the creation

outwards

when what was perceived

a punishment

reveals itself

a blessing

the door to a world of abundance

is silently opening

outwards

sickle

waking up to forgiveness

a sickle of the moon

and a sky with bright shining stars

after a life in heavy clouds

of guilt

seems just as natural

as for a long time

it was not

truthfulness

how healing

to recognise

our failures

and set things straight

while guilt decomposes

and truthfulness consolidates

hiding

flooded by a wave of guilt

lingering in every corner of the horizon

leaving no space for hiding

as the water rises

and the mind begins to fright

trying every habit

in order to escape

only to establish

how trust is all it takes

to get things right

and let love provide

failing

speaking truth

in all its wonders

is a never ending

exercise

which most of us fails

most of the time

as we tend to cling

to our own particular window

and the desire

to prove it right

forgetting that

the more windows opened

on the truth

the brighter it shines
