learning to keep quiet
no longer out of fear
of not being loved
rather out of love
can be a just as deep
as long
a process
which each and every person
has to find
their own way
through
caution
opening the door
to a new chapter
entering through
the golden balance
between
courage and caution
allowing joy to take the lead
always remembering
the depths of sorrow
and the wonders of life
which brought us to
where we are
complaining
the urge to complain
might be seen
as an expression
that
we have taken upon us
a responsibility
beyond
what is ours
being able to see
being able to see
that one is not being heard
can be a tender relief
from lifelong
misunderstandings
though when
not being heard means
we no longer ask
life itself
is lost
and all there is left
is
survival
redeeming
redeeming shame
can be
of utmost beauty
when the shadows
lingering in a settled mind
is suddenly transformed
by death
into angels of light
final
peace
finally final peace
peacefully prepared
in fine preparations
for the final
farewell
surgical
the change of colours
on the landscape
as light shifts
reflecting with surgical precision
and transparent clarity
what was so far
invisible
momentous
when healing guilt
is considered to be
a personal responsibility
one is mostly lost
somewhere down the road
swallowed by a momentous task
beyond
anyone’s capacities
justified
that everything can be
forgiven
or every experience transformed
into a lesson of deep learning
does not mean
everything can be
explained
even less
justified
atrocities
stirred
but not shaken
is how
the atrocities
of human behaviours
might be faced
without losing faith
