alchemy

how to wake up to exhaustion

without losing faith

that everything is

in its proper place

how to sit exhausted

at the silent river of hope

running somewhere inside

to let the sound of water irrigate the dry fields

of heart

how to be quiet long enough

for water to penetrate the chambers of this sacred organ

where the alchemy of charity

is taking place

moods

not again

is what one could be tempted to exclaim

though that will not change

the rain

only the mood

experiencing in vain

the limits of every effort to gain

that particular state

where whatever happens

is received as a game

where whoever ever enters

is received the same

wind

somehow absorbed

in a thoughtful mind

only the wind leaves impressions

distinct enough to be taken into account

yet

the wind is not strong

just present

playing nostalgic with the leaves

all too aware

that they will not be there for long

to receive its invisible caress

calling

plain rain

falling

calling

for a day

spent

in white sheets

calling

for fire

in the fireplace

calling

for cuddles

courage

longing

so much the deeper

that it is subtle

as the rain

falling through darkness

nourishing the sources

of the underworld

to prepare for spring

where the raising of sap

will need

every drop gathered

through the winter

of hope

distillation

a thin layer of clouds is covering the sky

at least

this is what it seems

in the early dawn

where light is still just a promise in the sound

of a single birds song

a thin layer of clouds covering the world

with a soft layer of kindness

to be distilled into love by the human heart

by those who desire

to carry awareness

to the degree

of presence

retirement

to withdraw from the surface of the world

into layers

where soul grows freely

and love defines the horizon

where time is supple

and the soil irrigated

by rivers of peace

into layers

where nothing seems to happen

when observed from the surface of the world

hunger

rain again

steady rain

calling for the world

to slow down

allowing itself to breath and wait

just wait

till the rain has passed

calling for the world

to slow down

just the time for every cell to discover

the heartbeat of the earth

and fall into a rhythm

decided by other decrees

than the endless desire

of hungry minds

delivery

there is something about the silence

which is different from other silences

simply because

there is something about the day

which is different from other days

announcing the unknown

more persistently

than is usually the case

revealing to the alert observer

that there are certain unknowns

to be embraced

even when there is no wish

nor any desire

to do so

and most probably

those are the one who carry

secrets of the delivery of soul

whispers

a gentle wind is whispering

tenderness into the dark

while the world awaken

to yet another

beautiful

day

leaving unchanged what can

and will not

change

transforming everything

that is open to

and supposed to be

transformed

the wind is whispering

tenderness

into the dark
