purpose

walking into the unknown

with the same confidence

that the mind seems to trace

old paths

not questioning the slightest

just moving forward

since this is the way it has been moving ahead

since dawn

walking into the unknown

with that unexpected particular sensation

of finally coming home

transcendence

a golden rise of sun

spinning light into the day

while death is weaving threads of fear

like spiders web

on humid clay

somewhere beyond is running

what is called a secret way

where life and death and life again

has nothing more to say

horizons

a tender moon behind drifting clouds decorated one corner of the horizon

the gold of the rising sun another

while dark and heavy clouds of rain approaches from a third

the birds still sing

even if they seem to diminish in number

every year

and the wind draws the dark clouds closer

every second

sweeping away the last leftovers

of old habits

in a new-born mind

no more

no more regrets

no more wondering

how things could have been

different

no more longings for a past

long gone

nor for a future

that never came

homecoming

about being met

in who we are

peacefully

harmoniously

in no way

dramatically

not in how we try to be

nor how we wish to be

but silently in

the most subtle core

of our purpose

virtue

too many thoughts

can also engender

a kind of silence

when not a single one of them

seems worthy to be expressed

though it might not be a question

of worthiness

but rather whether one wish

to nourish all the layers of a thought

and thereby deliver the consequences

striving

puzzled

by the changes

that is inevitable

occurring

like a plant observing

its leaves unfold

into a dimension

it was not necessarily aware of

being its potential

and yet

something in it

have had the faith

to strive

breath

somehow restless

and unsettled

despite a good night’s sleep

irritable

for no apparent reason

other than the constant changing weather

from rain to sun in a single breath

from despair to hope

more swiftly

than the mind is able to grasp

but maybe there is nothing to grasp

only a breath to be breathed

a life to be lived
