when reality is no longer
a question of understanding
what is
unfolds
almost unnoticeably
and yet
so spectacularly
as it is no longer
a question of
explaining the pain
away
rather
increasing the sound
a little bit more
every day
excitement
being trapped in
emotions
is rarely a good place
to be
whether they are
euphoric
or
suffocating
they are there to pass
and holding on to them
out of fear
or excitement
is also
losing the present moment
no matter how real
they feel
unavoidable
desire is
unavoidable
in order to reach
love
though
one can very well
stay
in desire
without ever tasting
love
as one can
live in love
without ever tasting
desire
as love is to be found where
desire is the fuel
to reach it
not the goal
to achieve
in itself
cathedral
no longer having
to step out of
the cathedral of the soul
in order to meet
the world
does not mean
that the world cannot enter
the edifice
and receive
what is
so generously given
irrevocably
and then
suddenly
the threshold
which seemed
insurmountable
impenetrable
impossible to cross
is behind
and one abides
irrevocably
in the cathedral
of the soul
indifferent
indifferent to
the amount of care
by which
the blind spot of our perspective
is approached
shame can erupt
and manifest in the body
while the memory is being healed
till love is all
there remains
explosive
approaching
the blind spot
of our perspective
is just as explosive
as it is delicate
just as demanding
as it is liberating
just as obvious
as it is subtle
to be handled
with care
incapable
being faithful to someone
incapable of
returning the gesture
is an ungrateful position
to be in
as long
as it prevents
from being faithful to
the everlasting
faithfulness
almost everything
no longer to be
afraid
is a subtle freedom
often overwhelming
in all its simplicity
all the more
when one has been
afraid of
almost
everything
every step
in awe
of being granted
to stay
with the present
every step
on the way
