Is There Any Greater Feeling…
Is there any greater feeling than when you step away from your life and look around
Your room is dirty and your first reaction is to clean it
But then you notice the bed
It is now two feet from the wall
The sheets now tangled
The pillows on the floor
The smell of sex
The towel hanging from your half open closet.
The books stacked on your keyboard
And the feeling of total love
For yourself and for everything
The knowledge and awareness you experience
You decide not to clean
But to leave the moment in existence
You turn to walk outside
And you catch yourself in the mirror
You look strange
A smile of a lunatic across your face, yet this is absolute sanity
And you step outside to where the birds are chirping and the wind blows through the dead leaves that still cling to the trees
The sun shines and makes the grass twist in its light, reminiscent of your previous journey inwards
Traffic and the birds singing
Is this happiness?
Maybe it was before you asked that question
It’s okay though
You know it was.
