Smile

: )

in times of peace
it is so easy to smile
it is like nothing else exist
except the smile

you don't know why you smile
but you know it has all the meaning of the world in it

in times of distress
we can make all crazy promises
to try to fix and repair a situation
which has gone out of hand

but it is impossible to ever repair
it is a lie
when a friendly relationship is broken in two
there is no bad no good
there is only a separation and each one goes on his way

and in this fine and invisible line of separation
lies embedded a new life, a new face to meet
if there had not been the separation,
there would not have been this new meeting

true, separations are hurtful
because we are bundle of energies
which have exchanged streams of energies
so the you is in me and the me in you
separation brings you to accept the loss of this identity

so you lose the certitude that you were the other.
whatever the mistake you committed
life is not teaching you to learn to feel guilty
though it is inevitable to feel so
but it teaches you not to reiterate it
to grow from it

a new chance is given
while you could have bet your very life
that it is impossible to ever live again

the new chance is given
not for you to find yourself in another
but to find yourself within

others are graciously being a mirror to you
the more they have polished it to know themselves
the more you can see your self in them
and hopefully remember
that you are what you are seeing in the mirror


so the separation was never in the first place
the fault of one or the other
but it was the natural outcome of a relationship
and there is no evil in that
unless you see evil in it
there is no accusation against the other
unless you set your mind on it
and there is even less solitude
when you know that you already are
and it is what you keep forgetting.

and yet, you still need the other
to feel your own harmony within
you need the mirror to see your self

because it is what brings peace within
to see Truth within without.

and as Truth knows it,
and you too learned your lesson
from past separation
you need no more pain to experience peace
but you happily and silently
feel contented
and smile
even if you know not why.

you stay then in peace.
