peacock

awakening with the light

observing

how the peacock is answering the call of dawn

just before light breaks through

as the heart is answering the call of love

just before the mind is aware

of its awakening

into an undeniable reality

land mines

mapping a minefield

is a tedious work

not to talk about the demining

following afterwards

and yet

it is the only way

to regain access

to the fertile soil

underneath

sand

the darkening sensation

of walking in quicksand

closing in on the soul

swallowing every perspective

as the mind sink deeper

into its own definitions

throwing spotlights

on every flaw

that can be transformed to tenderness

by the one who saw

hearing

the advantage of staying silent is

that one begin to hear

the stories which are ruling our minds

the challenge of staying silent is

that it becomes more difficult

not to acknowledge them

not to find their proper place for them to be

where they are no longer ruling

but fuelling

our minds

purified through the fire

in our hearts

summer

summer is unfolding

towards harvest

it is no longer time

for sowing

light is turning

towards darkness

and the mind is tuning

towards next years seeds

but for the time being

summer is to be appreciated

in all its generous abundance

midsummer

all sorts of golden light

turning into grey

on a new moon

midsummer morning

all sorts of memories surfacing

to be classified and dissolved

for the mind to regain its freedom

to embrace the present

and perceive future

in joy

protection

no golden light

just grey clouds

covering the sky

in peaceful protection of

whatever is

to be protected

reminding

that even the most glorious of all lights

sometimes needs

protection

letting go

the wind is whispering in the summer leaves

playing its own melody

in the treetops

while more golden morning light

is falling in through the windows

letting go

of old structures

no one was ever meant to carry

another’s dreams

nor fulfil

another’s destiny

caves

the caves of every being

have a hidden treasure

if one have the courage

to go and search for it
