it can be a challenge
to stand upright
in a choice
condemned
as being
irresponsible
but it does not mean
the choice was wrong
to begin with
nor that the star being followed
is leading astray
wait
a day without rain
can feel
like a caress
of light
while darkness is
at its darkest
and all there is to be done about it
is to wait
for light
and life
to return
help
after a whole long life
of believing
that asking for help
was the ultimate failure
asking for help seems indeed
to be
an unfathomable relief
no one
being no one’s trouble
is a troublesome life
insufficient
the idea of being
insufficient
is a heavy yoke
to carry
the more
that it is most probably
an idea
carried down through
generations
too
a thin layer of
mysterious mist
covering
the world
a mysterious veil covering
what the world is not yet prepared
to uncover
there is a time for everything
a time for endings
and a time for beginnings
too
gown
leaving behind
what is no longer
appropriate
as crucial as it might have been
to reach the present
may be considered as
leaving behind
an outgrown gown
recovery
being able to sense
after a life in numbness
is a whole new world
to discover
marvel
being a butterfly
in winter
can in certain moments be
both lonely
and sad
but what a marvel
when light return
and the temperature is anew
a standing invitation
to unfold the wings
crescent
a soft crescent
of the moon
behind a thin layer
of clouds
a bird’s song
while darkness is
at its darkest
a quiet rain
of blessings
