a subtle sound
of soft bells
as the wind comes from the south
and the moon shifts
while the sky is grey
and one single crimson tree
is flourishing
in the middle of the green
delicate
breaking the law
in the name of love
is a delicate balance
to find
where all sorts of abuse
can occur
yet
breaking the law
in the name of love
might sometimes be
the only truthful way
ahead
nailed
being nailed
to the cross
of humiliation
is about
as unpleasant
as to explain
why
we all tend
to avoid it
though
it is through that very cross
mercy can reach
the world
old story
to offer what
we do not possess
in order to possess
what cannot be grasped
is an old story
and yet it is being written
over and over
again
unravel
just a few words
of kindness
can sometimes be
enough
to unravel
and disentangle
a situation
of tension
actual
taking into account
the actual state of mind
is all the more important when
the actual state of mind
is far from
what we had expected
or just hoped for it
to be
cornerstone
when guilt has been
the cornerstone
of the mentality
ruling our mind
to see it out
can be
a feeling of loss
so unbearable
we prefer to stay
with our habits
all too aware
they are undermining
love
pardon
being taken advantage of
does not necessarily mean
one was wrong
to love
though it can be an expression of
lack of faith
….
one thing is
being able to ask
for forgiveness
another to receive
the pardon
we are granted
…
the advantage of
having been
taken advantage of
is
once faith has been restored
love runs abundantly
without any kind of
deviation
immense
what an immense relief
when asking forgiveness
for our failures
is
no longer out of reach
setting in
it is when
the reality of what is lost
sets in
that the new world
can
begin
