a certain resistance

in the back of the mind

prevent the eyes to indulge

the clarity of the dawn

they see light coming back

all around

but inside

the mind is running circles

incessantly enumerating

the unaccomplished matters

even and especially when

they have no name

nothing

love is the essence

and there is nothing to hide

nothing to be

ashamed of

nothing to prove

nothing to be proud of

nothing to blame

nothing to feel

guilty about

not a shadow of wind

is disturbing

the rise of the sun

accidents

breaking

of form

to reveal the essence

leaving behind rites

no longer necessary

once the essence is expanding

to its fullest potential

morning cold

and broken nights

nothing is

by accident

sunshine

stillness

not before

but after

the storm

light spreading over the world

from a cloudless sky

gently approaching the sections

where shadows reign

blackbirds

wind is bringing back the cold

on a grey and rainy morning

where blackbirds sing

the sun to rise

trust

a fully visible moon

behind a soft layer of clouds

an owl

answering the call of a peacock

through the night

the tender sound

of gently falling rain

the smell

of blossoming trees

and humidity

with a river of trust

running underneath it all

symbiosis

awakening with the light

is a particular grace

where the inner

and the outer world

is in a state of symbiosis

beyond

passing

it is all to easily forgotten

that emotions never last

instead it seems

we are deploying heaps of efforts

to make the unpleasant ones disappear

and the pleasant ones endure

whereas they all have a reason for being

and all we are asked to

is let them pass

weightlessness

changes

profound and considerate changes

settling in

to a state of weightlessness

with the return of the sun

and the shift of the moon

shadows

the freedom of facing a shadow

is unexpectedly liberating

protected by darkness

and a warm bed

against the cold

otherwise sneaking in

under the skin

just as darkness sneaks into the heart

overshadowing love in a way

that it is not discovered

until night has fallen upon

the most precious talent

to forgive
