WRONG AND RIGHT

How can something so strong
be so wrong? Go so wrong?
We don’t belong to our emotions,
they belong to us, but our devotions
are more accurate and honest,
what we long for the strongest.
Pain brings so much blessing
to every soul that learns its lesson
and undergoes transformation,
maturation and the realisation
that it wasn’t wrong after all,
it was a strong and jarring Call
to wake up before you fall.

RESTLESSNESS

Good Morning
To every urge that always makes you get up;
Good Morning
To every discomfort that has never let up;
Good Morning
To every dream that lifts your head up;
Good Morning
To every memory that makes you fed up
With lying down lamenting and self-compromising
While the day is dawning and the sun is rising;
Good Morning to restlessness,
The twin-partner of purposefulness.
Get up! and keep seeking to reach, or grasp, the Horizon -
No matter what you have found before
There is always something more.
