Sunshine breaks through the windows,
warmth and wind beat upon my forehead
and a smile breaks out with sheer joy.
My body soaks
in the peaceful surroundings
as I rest soundlessly upon my bed of clouds.
My heart is tucked under the gentle wing
of bliss,
like an eaglet nurtured
under the comfort of her mother
as the noble pair soar high
above the land.
My still mind
mimics the pauses between the swaying breeze;
The utter silence that illuminates
the peace within.
My body shakes with awakening
as my self experiences satori
for the first time.
As I intently observe
the life force flow in and out,
now is love,
and I finally am.
As I bask in the glowing sun
that peers through the blinds,
I have been blessed with sight,
for now I can see.

As I bask in the glowing sun
