and then silently
after years of ceaseless fighting
peace pervades
like the smiling face of a loving mother
bending down
to take up her disastrous child
intense
being intense
is not necessarily
a choice
though something which can
be regulated
in order to intensify
what can bear it
and leave superficial
what was never meant to be
anything else
initiative
when every initiative
is crumbling
time might have come
to lean back
and receive
fruits
searching for signs
in the wilderness
while fighting against
phantoms of fear
might bear less fruit
than keeping still
and let peace reveal
what is
heritage
soft wind
fresh air
mild awakening
into awareness of
a reality
so far sealed
under a heritage of meaning
build on fear
ability
tensions of unease running
under the skin
while the mind is trying to
convince
itself how all is good
confusing the
ability to gain awareness
by the immutable
all shall be good
while nothing can be good
where truth
is denied
devotion
cleansing profound layers
of fear
is a subtle work
asking for deep care
what seems to be
endless amounts of time
and undivided devotion
aim
when stagnated emotions
are suddenly brought
into movement
all sorts of perceptions
might come to the surface
and confuse
where clarity was the aim
only to let
insight gain
wilderness
when doubt turn into despair
and despair is growing wild
peace turns into wilderness
of a kind
where the soul is no longer
given to shine
anywhere
when carrying others burden
becomes the purpose of life
we end up being able to carry
nothing at all
while joy is all
we were ever asked
to carry
anywhere
