"And in my meditation, I am sailing the vastness of ocean waters,
I am flying, the wind at my back, the azure sky above, no distant
shores hold me in. I know only freedom, and my true north is near."

Quote by_ Poet

and in my meditation I float in an aura purple I swirl among and above the clouds beyond my earthly realm and come to land upon a sandy shore I see my sail boat waiting, beckoning to me her bow is bobbing, her stern secure her starboard tilting and her port welcoming her sails flutter in a wind, her lovely sails flung wide and white below a perfect sky of azure the ocean waves caressing her hull are aqua green and I want to swim and dive deep into the crashing waves the cool water washing over me as I swirl drifting on the waves I see white ocean birds flying, soaring but my meditation is silent . . . oh, from birth to this moment I have lived known grief to young, walked with the angel of death have known defeat, and deep love, beauty and ugliness have climbed from the pits of hell to begin new over and over and it has been a good life . . . but my time is over, heaven is calling for me and so I will sail my boat into my true north today until I vanish . . .
