prestige

where the ambition for

perfection

triumph over

the need for presence

success might be

achieved

in an exclusive appearance

of prestige

though just as much as

the outset was

to search for the innermost essence

the essence in itself

might be lost

shining

a night of little sleep

a glorious break of day

a landscape covered with frost

a hope

that for a moment

had been lost

shining bright

sophisticated

sophisticated solitude

can sometimes be

a suffocating experience

sophisticated in the sense

that impossible to

describe

in a manner

allowing

anyone else to grasp

just how

sophisticated solitude can be

persistence

when purpose

persist

and perseverance

is no longer a burden

rather a play

it might be

that dawn is breaking

into day

disabling

being unable to make

an independent decision

can be just as disabling

as being unable to take

advice

yet neither is disabling

for as long

as the behaviours are accepted

for what they are

the weakness

which makes

our strength

blinding

when fear is blinding

even paralysing

there might be no reason

to open

the eyes

all one can do

is holding on

to that inner light

which is able

to bring us through

resilience

when surrendering meant

being abused

regaining the ability

to surrender

might take years

even lifetimes

where there is no one to blame

only discipline

to practice

over and over again

until

resilience is

anew

resilient

uplifting

a drawing

two glorious conversations

a written message

can be what it takes

to uplift a day

beyond the exhaustion

running below

every effort

to overcome it

embedded

whirling wind

after a long night’s sleep

still without recovering

the inner balance

which has been lost

for so many years

that it is becoming

almost impossible

to remember

it ever was

any different

but only

almost

and it is

in that very almost

hope is embedded

bundle

when giving care

was all

one ever wanted

to do

while being told

to be

a bundle of

unbearable troubles

it can take time

for the mind

to find the confidence

that giving care is all

one was ever meant

to do
