the permanent sound of the sea

lulling the blood to peace

bringing every cell

to a deep state of relaxation

reinvigorating tissues

hold in tension since consciousness dawned

by fear of never being

good enough

sheer rejection by the body

of the convictions instigated by the past

allowing to write the future

on a blank sheet

rushing the world into new records of speed

while slowing down every sort of ambition

going against nature

bringing movement

into layers

that had seemed forever

stagnated

and thereby converting

violence of the elements

into a tender caress

of soul

seaside

heavy wind

and low clouds

with a line of horizon

erased

as the grey of the sea

and the grey of the sky

merge in the distance

new perspectives

on old patterns

diluting the encircling fear

that has been inhibiting every step

taken

the full moon

has been swallowed by clouds

and the birds become

more and more insisting

for every day

approaching spring

with admirable patience

and confidence

in a future

only their instinct

can know about

there is a moment

just before new insight emerges

where everything seems to be

but chaos

where clarity seems out of reach

and action compulsory

whereas

one way to reach the more subtle awareness of the situation

could be by standing still

long enough

to let clarity reveal

where precisely

action is to be

incised

to touch reality

just like every night

is followed by a new dawn

no matter how dark

the darkness

the nights are clear

the stars out

while the almost full moon

is sailing across its ocean

every tree seems to have

a bird

singing faithfully every morning

while light increases

and the first flowers unfold

bringing focus into a scattered mind

is like holding on to falling leaves in autumn

yet

somehow peace is

first and foremost

a state of being

as a chemical substance

diluted in the blood

running through every layer

of the being

affected

panic dissolves

the structure of mind

without any trace

to track it

telling someone

in such a state

that there is nothing to panic about

or considering it to be a question

of pulling together

is to cripple the one

who is already broken

bewildered

as nature could be

by the changing weather

in front of situations that seems to have

no explanation

avoiding the old habit

of defining a cause

in order to carry out judgement

as long as the cause is not surfacing

to reveal itself

with grace

opening towards

forgiveness

not saying

what is on the mind

or the heart

has nothing to do with silence

finding a way to say it

without indulging in states and emotions

that are in any case

not meant to last

is a possibility

to leave the burden behind

without creating odd behavioural patterns

transcending generations as shadows

that seems to occur

out of nothing

the irresistible impulse of life

is running just beneath the surface

of the soil

nature seems to know

that light is returning

and that no shadow exists

without an original obstacle
