misled

leaving lifelong convictions behind

as misleading as they might have been

is a work in itself

the shift of the moon

might help to turn the page

while cold clear the air

amplification

golden sensitivity

amplified by cold

hold high by awareness

underestimated by every sort of

rational deduction

alienation

the noise of a judgmental mind

cutting into silence

with no respect for anything

but its own existence

chasing peace away

from a heart

only meant to love

in the first place

the noise of a judgmental mind

estranging the soul from the body

the body from the world

the world from its purpose

slow

slow

slow is the pace requested

when one is to stop

running

away from one’s

self

swallowed

swallowed shame

hiding in the system

transforming blood

into lead in the veins

swallowed shame

leaving a judgemental mind

cutting merciless into pieces

what is only longing

for forgiveness

to heal

swallowed shame

to be approached on light feet

to be peeled in thin layers

transforming the slags

one by one

into joy

attentiveness

tensions

despite

a good night’s

sleep

the first daffodils in bloom

the sight of a veiled moon

subtle tensions

running beneath the surface

as a constant reminder about

the importance of

being attentive
