rest a little

in a small hidden corner
of kreuzberg
in berlin

this hindu deity
with her eyes shut

fearless
and still

welcomes travelers
and invites them
to take a rest

its impossible
not to be drawn to
the calmness
of the space
and not to take
a few breaths
inwards

releasing
tension
anxiety
stress
and daunting thoughts

there is simply no end
to where beauty
can be found
