when listening inwards
means hearing something
one does not wish to know
it can be all too easy
to convince oneself
it was never true
in the first place
yet
it does not change
truth
attitude
somehow
something
changes
not always as a consequence
of a conscious decision
but sometimes in the following
of a changed attitude
toward oneself
toward the world
toward life
plaintive
abundant moonlight
and shining stars
flooding the darkness
while an owl is calling plaintively
through the night
witness
truth is a delicate matter
so powerful
and so easy to wash away
under a single drop
of rain
so subtle to witness
so difficult to prove
a lazy fly is humming through the night
wish
abandoning the wish to understand
feels like losing dignity
yet it might be where
true dignity begins
unconnected
being unconnected
does not necessarily mean
being absent
patterns
white moonlight
generously falling
in through the windows
drawing geometric patterns
on walls and floors
while cold is running
along the outskirts of the room
and patience is required
to accompany the night
out of reach
storm
bringing fear to the surface
whirling up memories
which were thought to be gone
allowing peace to reach corners
which were so far
out of reach
serious
mild winds
and full moon
intense colours
with a scent of earth
caressing every perception
being serious
as being sensitive
is not a choice
if choice there is
it would be
how to get around it
cover
wind whirling
the first falling leaves
to the ground
where they softly cover the earth
in gold
as to remind the world
how every season has
its glory
