The Awakening

I thought the grief would never clear

The tears would never stop

The pain would never end

ripped apart

the destruction

of who I thought I was

What I thought life was

What the world was

The end of everything

I held to be

meaningful and important

in my life

The annihilation of

goals

hopes

dreams

desires

all that gave my life meaning

I surrendered it all

along with

the fear

and terror

of obliteration and madness

I let it all go

ready to burn

to die

And

then

there

was

Peace

Profound

Overwhelming

Radiant Joy

and a mind with no thought

nothing

not a desire

not a want

not a worry

just

joyous peace

and the realisation

of who I truly am

and

who we

truly are.­­­
