Invincible

“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.  And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better ,,, ”― Albert Camus

Wishing you all the very best for the coming year with thanks for all the beauty and love shared.

SACRED BRUTE
Love is a sacred brute
she’ll break into any heart
more or less uninvited
and bring up every well hidden wound.

She’ll take your pacifiers one by one,
if she’s kind
or the whole bundle all at once,
if not.

She is imprudent, manner-less
a deity of wreckage
to every comfortable structure.

She does not care about maintaining you
anything like you were.

She is a vandal to every tidiness.
She opens
your well-stored inner boxes
and giddily loosens your collection
of rage and griplessness.

Her only intention?
To fully take off your mask
so God’s face can finally
shine through you

And a magnificent song (poem?)  to see in the new year.  Xx
