Self Realization
Stop! Listen to your heartbeat.
Concentrate on every thump as it slowly evaporates
into the inner tissue of your soul.
Silence manifests laterally,
drowning your body, leaving you with sharpened senses.
Your limbs slowly detach from your fragile body
creating paranormal stratospheres in the surrounding cosmos.
All matter surrounding you dissolves until all turns to
black shadow.
Solitude takes you and you are an irrelevant whisper
within infinity. You gain consciousness,
you are in a pool of your most distant memories.
You come to the realize that you never knew
yourself, you were never even close.
Suddenly you feel more in tune than ever.
You are reborn from the womb of your own heat
confident that you aren’t, you never were, and you never will be.
