I take a deep breathe and take off the mask.




ANOTHER AWAKENING

I hold out my hands,

palms upwards

towards the Universe...
I am waiting.


Waiting for some sign,
some indication,
something special
to happen to me...

I breathe in so deeply
and that is when
a tiny voice
inside of me
says, "Remember, you

are unique, special,

a part of the whole".

It is me I wait for:
Me to awake and see
the important thing
is that I even exist.

It seems I need nothing
in this life.
Nothing more than
this awareness,
everything else
will wither and crumble.


It may be a mystery -
it was in the beginning -
and as the ending
draws ever closer
I cannot think of it
as anything other than
a new adventure,
perhaps even
an awakening.

I liked the sentiment of this poem Allen, that endings are also beginnings - maybe on the wheel of life? As I approach that state myself I find that I worry less about what's next.

Wow! This tells of self awareness in such a positive and lovely way and anything is possible, which is freeing.

"perhaps even
an awakening."

It could be, and therein lies hope.

A thoughtful, thought-inducing poem.
