Presence

I wrote this poem after a deeply meditative experience I had that made me feel more connected to myself, the external world, and spiritual realm more than I ever had before which I wanted to share with you. I wanted to capture this moment so I could always remember that I have the ability to access these deeper parts of myself by being mindful and present. Although we all have the ability to lean into these transformative and spiritual states through meditation, they are deeply personal and unique experiences. Through this particular experience, I felt as though I were embodying an entire sunset, an entire forest, an entire sea. It was pure magic, and it was existing within me all along...

Lucid, as opalescent waves appear

As my breath deepens and heart quickens, it reverberates throughout my body

Coolness washes over me

Sunset in my mind, I become the colours I see

Purple, blue, orange and green

A sight to behold as the feeling sets in

A connection to all that has been

Since the dawn of time and existence it seems

What it means to be alive

And exist in this body I am in

Arriving where the sky meets the sea

Returning with an airy lightness

Mind, body, and soul is free
