Waken

I had been feeling restless for some time, 
But today, I awoke in the afternoon 
Feeling truly at peace for the first time.
 
A sense of calm enveloped me, 
Along with focus and drive 
As a myriad of emotions surged within 
Like a soldier readying for battle. 

The burden had lifted, 
In its place, victory stood firmly 
Next to the kin that surrounded me.
 
I wondered who this entity was, 
That has taken shape, shining 
His head held high
In perfected pridefulness 
As if tailored for a purpose? 

Though I felt grounded, 
My victorious battle was the heights
Pearls of wisdom on this journey. 

Direction seemed to arise, 
Greeting me with a handshake 
This profound state 
An altered consciousness 
I questioned, am I home?
