words do not come

words do not come

there is no need for profound utterances or

deep truths

here is an ordinary evening

why spoil it with dramatic overstatement

the silence amidst the noise

the gem at the core 

of every experience

is polished by simple attention

into shining magnificence

the tired wanderer

.

the tired wanderer
loses the strength to go on
and in surrendering to hopelessness
is surprised
to finally feel at home
...

the troubled philosopher
finds nothing to believe in
and in unexpected silence
just smiles
at the still unanswered questions

...

the saddened lover
faces the loss of illusion once again
and in dying to passion
falls in love
with love itself
...
