I close my eyes The room fades My body disappears Reaching out I listen In a black, endless sky The stars wink out Alone I let go No past, no future The present a heartbeat Then the heartbeat stills Breathing slows To nothing My soul untethered Floating In the dark I release all thought But one I am
Sinking deeper Into the void Merging, becoming Part of the vastness Nothing and everything Almost gone But one thought holds me A string tying Myself to my Self I am
I struggle Against the knot Stretching, unfolding On the verge Of some immense Cosmic discovery Meaning Purpose Truth Life I strain against the pull On the edge Of knowing My hand on the curtain Slips away Falling backwards A voice whispering Relentlessly I am
