just the same

being no one

in a world of someones

can sometimes be

a lonely experience

being someone

in a world of no ones

just the same

soothing

gentle soft summer rain

soothing sore scars

just below the surface

satisfying the thirst

of each cell

spreading peace to even the most remote corner

of memory

strength

being responsible

is such a delicate matter

which should always be treated

with utmost care

praise is a way

to carry it

weakness

dignity being

such a delicate matter

should always be treated

with utmost care

praise is a way

to reveal it

timeline

respecting the invisible timeline

takes courage to

a very different kind of courage indeed

but courage just the same

refreshing

refreshing summer rain

washing away the dust

cleaning the air

nourishing the earth

maintaining the subtle balance

of nature

allowing peace

to unfold

restorative

an undeniable longing to sleep

no longer

as a way to escape

an overwhelming situation

but purely to restore the body

rest the mind

and let the soul

breath

criticism

the heat is changing the ambience

reducing patience

while old sadness surface

like bobbles in a glass of champagne

no one invited them

no one asked them their opinion

and yet

they silently explode

into tears

years and years of criticism

is corroding

even the most loving heart

unsettled

feeling insecure

for no apparent reason

can be triggering for the mind

feeling insecure

for no apparent reason

and welcoming the feeling

without trying to trace it

can be liberating for the mind

feeling insecure

for no apparent reason

can be a passage

and chasing the feeling away

only acquire

the lack of a bright opportunity
