The Time of Kindness

This is the time of kindness

This is the time of kindness for kneeling to the self with your own hands that cultivate the garden

This is the time of kindness for breathing inside all unknown shadow-landscapes, with the sight of a wounded beast

This is the time of kindness for those who were before us and those who will come after, in the summer dawns on abandoned landscapes of loneliness and the beauty of existence

This is the time of kindness for all sufferings of the innocent gods, that we betrayed out of ignorance and from the place of our own closedness, could it be different?

This is the time of kindness for the world already born, whose borders I don’t know, and I am not able to be the first step of a child, through the primeval underworld forest

How can I be close to you now when I know how much freedom costs?
