The Sensations of Nothingness
finding peace in a float tank
mind churns
body aches
~
strip down
shower off
earplugs in
door open
step over
door shut
slide through
settle deep
lights out
dark falls
waves dissipate
water settles
~
bones s-t-r-e-t-c-h
heart slows
gravity melts
spirit rests
chaos fades
universe hums
~
mind stills
body heals

Yayyyyy congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
I loved this quick journey that ended with a relaxing calmness. What a great concept for the challenge. Sensory deprivation ...clever!
Awesome poem, Donna! Floating is the best!!! I love a good float sesh, but I've only ever done it in the open water—I've considered the tanks but I'm worried I'll get too claustrophobic.
Ooooh love this! It feels very dynamic
congrats on a well deserved TS!
