I'm thinking about writing this new format. But I'm interested in your opinions. I'm interested in knowing what you felt. An emoji is enough.
resting after a long day.
my body unwinds,
every tension released.
each muscle
breathes on its own
and lets go
of what it carried.
—deep breath—
only relief dwells in my chest,
all the weight fades away.
and I begin to imagine
my body
sinking into relaxation,
ready to travel.
each time I breathe deeply
I rise higher and higher.
I start to float,
detaching from the earth,
slipping out the window.
I can see
each house on my street,
each road,
a square with children playing.
the gardens smile at me,
the trees
greet me gently.
I can feel the breeze
on my face,
a soft perfume of jasmine.
a fullness blooms
inside my chest.
—deep breath—
I reach the birds,
they dance all around me.
blackbirds and magpies
sing their serenade.
I can touch the softness of the clouds,
a velvet cloth
that shapes itself into figures,
playing among the skies.
—deep breath again—
I rise higher and higher.
I see the sun
slip into the horizon,
giving way for the moon to appear.
it comes out shyly,
with tender clumsiness,
lifting itself
as every night does.
some birds hide in their nests,
wishing goodnight
to the neighbors in the same tree.
others begin
their nightly journey.
houses light up slowly,
a few in the west,
a few in the east.
the whole world seems like a sphere
decorated for Christmas.
—deep breath fills my lungs with clear air—
darkness falls,
yet everything glows.
young stars emerge
above my forehead.
the sun’s reflection
makes each particle
of the universe sparkle.
some comets gallop far away,
unhurried,
as if not to disturb.
silence expands,
deep and eternal.
I feel a vast peace,
floating in the void of space.
nothing touches my body,
yet I am held.
Jupiter dazzles me
with its crimson stains
over a reddish sea.
Saturn shows its rings,
spinning, twirling,
a ballerina
with a wide flowing skirt.
—inhaling, exhaling—
with every breath
I sink deeper into calm.
my body softens,
relaxation reaches every part.
no worries,
no problems,
only silence and stillness,
stillness and silence.
—deep breath—
I return to the planet earth,
to that neighborhood,
to my home,
to my body,
to my life.
but lighter now,
in harmony,
more whole,
with deeper well-being.
