solemnly

one single bird is calling

through the darkness

which otherwise is solemnly silent

while dawn breaks through

no song of expectations

greets the season of little light

which does not make it less

precious

behold

explaining

what is perceived

with no explanation

as a reality

is perhaps

a lost case

all one can do

is to bear witness

down

darkness is growing again

cooler days announcing

what is to come

keeping silence

when it is time to tell the truth

can be just as devastating as

telling the truth

when it is time to keep silence

upside

while wind is chasing

the heat away

even when without either wish

nor intention

turning everything upside down

can also be a sort of

freedom

signs

silent sun

simmering summer

when rest is becoming the priority

it can also be considered a sign

that something has changed

leaning

leaning into the rhythm

of breath

brings to every situation

an opening towards

eternity

filtering

an aching body

and a sore mind

filtering shame

is a painful occupation

yet

once shame has stagnated in the body

there might not be so many

other choices

for purification to occur

call

a loving heart

is not enough

in itself

to find the limit

between discipline

and rigidity

is a perpetual call

towards awareness
