redeeming shame
can be
of utmost beauty
when the shadows
lingering in a settled mind
is suddenly transformed
by death
into angels of light
final
peace
finally final peace
peacefully prepared
in fine preparations
for the final
farewell
surgical
the change of colours
on the landscape
as light shifts
reflecting with surgical precision
and transparent clarity
what was so far
invisible
momentous
when healing guilt
is considered to be
a personal responsibility
one is mostly lost
somewhere down the road
swallowed by a momentous task
beyond
anyone’s capacities
justified
that everything can be
forgiven
or every experience transformed
into a lesson of deep learning
does not mean
everything can be
explained
even less
justified
atrocities
stirred
but not shaken
is how
the atrocities
of human behaviours
might be faced
without losing faith
somewhere different
learning to accept
how
being in the right place
at the proper time
sometimes means
being somewhere different
from
where our emotions
or our understanding
would want us to be
silver mist
silver mist
illuminated by
rays of light
falling through the fog
in an incandescent reflection
on the quiet water
carrying a luminous soul
from one dimension
to
another
the end
when what is considered
the end
is nothing but
new beginnings
glory expands
into cascades of splendour
discomfort
staying long enough
in the discomfort
to gain awareness
discomfort is all it is
nothing to do with
who we are
gently beginning to allow
the emotion to dissolve
and let
what is real
be real
