In praise of the Goddess

Inviting me in

I find myself at the entrance of the cave, out of breath.

The delirious hunger for more life ate me up, and before I can take another step, I collapse to the ground.

Serenity from afar mocks me – I thought I could grab peace, I thought I could tame fulfilment, I thought I had everything under control.

Still lying on the ground, I feel the cave once again inviting me in.

Without resentment, a silent whisper comes through the solitary walls that I used for my nourishment.

They call, and they promise much more.

They only ask of me to take in their stillness.
