might

there might be several ways

to deal

with guilt

one being

to sit with it

until it dissolves

as the threads of emotions grow visible

and thereby lose their power

another one being

to ask for forgiveness

and thereby create openings

for love to flood the heart

and these were only two of all the possible ways

whatever way is chosen

might not be essential

the essential being

that one is

burden

being born into the world

feeling guilty of being alive

can be a heavy burden

to drag around

and ever so difficult

to release

needless

being propelled

out of one’s course

for no other reason than

the need of entertainment of others

is as sad

as it is

needless

waste

what a waste

to spend our lives

in fear of our weaknesses

to be revealed

while it is by

standing erect in our frailest weakness

that the sublime power of our being

unfold

inaction

being in

inaction

does not mean

nothing is being done

purifying deeper layers of

conscience

often takes

a certain amount of

inaction

trustworthy

feeling trusted

and trustworthy

can be honey

for the soul

a healing balm

for the heart

a breeze of joy

through the mind

childhood dreams

waking up to a headache

and a mind full of undigested impressions

was perhaps not part of the childhood dreams

though it might be a reality

worth facing

for what it is

loser

losing everything

in one single sentence

is all the more painful

when repetitive

whether that everything

is a kingdom

or an inner shelter

makes no difference

to the loser

instrument

being out of tune

is indeed unpleasant

sometimes even upsetting

yet

it happens to the most precious of instruments
