Every now and then
everything seems to stop

you pause
look around
survey
and then it's as if
you go away
all of a sudden
vanish
into a state of suspension
your physical self
released
your mind    body    soul
sways
you drift
into some safe sprawling space
where nothing really
touches you
there are no borders
no boundaries
nothing audible   nothing visible
except a strong comforting light
sweeping you into its
   expanding warmth
no fear   no anguish
as you bathe in this vast radiance
this glimpse into oneself
this singular moment
of infinite grace
