tiredness

old tiredness

mounting to the surface

claiming the care

it was never granted

in the first place

in order to recover

for the next step

is enough readiness

for the present moment

to be present

the past to be past

and the future

future

clock

a different kind of

punctuality

drifting on invisible tides

as trustworthy

as any clock

while no one knows

the hour

sensuality

inhabiting sensuality

after years of seclusion

is like barren land

growing fertile

after years of drought

redressed

only while

observing

and acknowledging

the true nature

of things

can it become possible

for a deviation

to be redressed

for a perversion

to be straightened out

for grief to be elevated

into joy

touching

touching a deeper state

of happiness

nothing to do with

ecstasy

rather a silent exaltation

of gratitude

astray

too much freedom

can erode

the faculty

of discernment

too much trust

can lead astray

a certain amount of wisdom

rarely harm

skills

learning to live with

our nature

with all its flaws

and instincts

all its cunning skills

of survival

in order to learn

to love

our nature

with all its flaws

and instincts

all its cunning skills

of survival

and live
