Stumbling, You Can Get Far

Stumbling, you can get far;

Only by falling and not rising, you can’t.

Johann Wolfgang Goethe

Flogged by the whips of the wind

for the rain and foul weather

crushed to dust

by the ravages of time

Stripped from the chance

of survival

again I resurrect

to fall

A Tear Is The Most Expensive Pearl.

Søren Kierkegaard

Morning again

I wake up lethargic

with the word:

“I wish, I desire...”

And a chain of pearls

I put around the neck

Like a heavy tear

but one

I would take off

Between Fatigue and Hope

Tired

to the bone

Torn

into pieces one cannot put together

Chained

to the bottom of uncertainty

I dig up

the foundation of my existence

I am waiting

for the light of faith

that will change the fate

Save will a drop

from the source of hope
