though

when clouds are heavy

and grey is grey

it can sometimes feel like

we were never given

to see the day

though in these days of darkness

growths is taking place

in the invisible layers

of a sacred space

hide

secret shame of shameful secrets

surfacing

silently

leaving no space

to hide

its own

wind has blown the mist away

preparing the way for the rain

to cleans

and nourish

washing away the old

for the new to break through

in its own time

also

morning mists are covering the world

as an image of

how staying in an illusion can sometimes be

not only more comfortable

but perhaps even essential

yet

by facing reality in all its aspects

freedom is also to be found

respect

for some people it might be difficult

to respect their own limits

for others to go beyond their own limitations

none of them is a better person

the challenge is just

different

but it is a perpetual question of

respecting our boundaries

and those of the other

leaves

grounded

heavily grounded

like leaves of lightness

falling to the ground

transforming into earth

nourishing whatever strives

to grow
