Escape to reality

Sitting in a lotus pose

I regulate my breathing in-two-three; out-two-three until at

last I depart from a plane of quibbles and nonsense into

essence; the safe space of my soul where the universe unfurls in ammonite spirals and endless possibility -

nebulas bloom deep in spectrums of colours unimagined; and when I am ready - at the edges of it all - I slowly release the magic and prepare to

carry it back with me into the bluster and wonder of

everyday existence
