Today I shrunk 

sliced down my mass

slipped into the cracks of the floor boards and

leaned into gravity like a cannonball, but bodiless.

slumped into empty breath 

reorganized as microscopic, slippery, weightless, ether

waif of glitter

fleck of dust 

leveling with dirt, I touched space around me like 

the cushion it is, 

like the softness that any regular nothingness adjusts to,

touching itself to its oceans of surrounding twin copies

.

I felt soft and full;

and from this view,

clarity arose like the shining star

of awareness.

  1. So if I let go of everything, even the chocolate…I become that enlightenment Ka. No wonder I struggle 🤣

    But…a great verse kind lady. I hope you did indeed become that awareness, and flew like an eagle 🤗❤️🙏

    1. Thanks, JoAnna! Me too, I’m curious 🙂 🧐

      I think many of my poems come from my meditation practice in some ways… not that I’m meditating when I write them, but because I meditate, these experiences or inspirations are from that practice.

Please drop me a petal from your beautiful self and let me know that you visited :)
