a subtle smile
a change of look in the eye
while a different kind of solitude
arrive
a solitude of peace
and solemn delight
summarise
soft silence
under a steady falling rain
soundless thoughts
slowly summarised
into pearls of wisdom
surgery
honesty
is a matter
to be handled
with both mercy
and forgiveness
though
while handled in that manner
it might cut into hidden wounds
with surgical precision
of endless care
gate
anxious full moon
holding dear
every detail
of a silver night
to be treasured
in every detail
as a wide open gate
of insight
glorious
a shadow of sadness
on a glorious morning
only to emphasise the span
of glory itself
honouring
honouring grace
can also be considered
an act of prayer
steady
soft mist
covering the landscape
preparing the mind gently
for a revelation of the kind
which needs steady tenderness
for the awareness to grasp
every detail of
its insight
answering
answering the call
is letting go
of everything
which hold us back
in pain
as in pleasure
piety
wrath mounting to the surface
in deepfelt indignation
over lack of respect
though nothing of the sort
is to be expected
where the sacred is not held
in reverence
only faked piety
in the place of fear
anything
where suffering rules
no more
what emerge
is more
than anything
of gratitude
and grace
