A Meditation
A vignette

My heart beats slowly, my breath in, is shallow. A wave of calmness washes over my body and soul, allowing the past to seep into my brain like an infection. Faces of the past greet me anew, actions of old as fresh as the day the occurred. Feelings experienced return, as profound as before. Calmness

The memories fade, leaving nothing. Thoughts of the present now enter, feelings for friends, for enemies, for lovers. Feelings of current regrets, current inaction are like a cancer, feeding on my doubt, my inhibition of my dreams. My mind clouds, leaving only nothing but darkness, emptiness, blackness.

In this darkness, a light pierces. A light of a pureness unheard of. A light of serenity, and in this light, I accept my doubts, my weaknesses, I turn them into strengths. I realise my failed dreams lead to new dreams, better dreams. A new sense of hope touches, caresses my body. Gently colouring my positivity, feeding it. Belief.

My heart beats again, my breath out is deep. All is still, and I awake.
