surrender to ecstasy
where dutiful obligations
of rights and wrongs
has overshadowed
and ruled
both mind and body
is a subtle shift of direction
in the core of every cell
moving away
from decay
pointing towards the dawn
of eternal glory
impregnating
insights of subtle beauty
and silent truth
unfolding as the need for rest
is respected for what it is
while knowledge about
right and wrong
is set aside for as long
as is needed for wisdom
to impregnate the heart
with its secret song
happiness
happiness might be
nothing but
a matter of
perspective
the amount of love
we are able to embrace
what we are given
with
meddling
meddling in other people’s affairs
in order to keep
our own privileges
can easily become
a full time
occupation
making us lose sight
of the eternal
plant
the conviction of
unworthiness
can also be seen
as the seed
of faith
faith
the soil for hope to grow in
hope the stem for love to flourish on
love
the flower of this
invisible plant of silent beauty
interwoven
seeing faith
unfold
is just as overwhelming
as it is
the obvious outcome
of interwoven prayers
held together by the frame
of a devoted heart
dreariness
disruption
of deeper layers
cascades of tears
while finally
the sun is out
and nature seems embraced
by softness
in deep contrast to the inner landscape
of barren dreariness
surrendering
facing pride
and surrendering to solitude
sounds somewhat suffocating
though
facing reality
is always
a respite
from a life of
illusions
talents
confusing our talents
with the expression of
a spoiled child’s
misbehaviour
is what might happen when
misuse of one kind
or another
has taken place
while the talents were about
to unfold
‘
assault
some careful listening
can transform
what is received as
a verbal assault
to a call for consideration
while abiding in a peaceful awareness
of reconciliation
