Patterns woven day by day
in the workshop of your mind
all throughout childhood
getting tighter all the time
so that they at a certain spot
appear to be unchangeable.
Up till the turning point where
sudden signals shake you up
with threats ahead for life or death
and everythings stands still.
Away is all fixed certainty
from this new viewing point
where you take deeper breaths
and reset means a brandnew start.
