::: outside :::

listen to the silence
as your body calms
and your heartbeat slows
listen to the silence
as your awareness expands
and your thoughts go
aimlessly on
like projections on a wall
listen to the silence
as your breathe becomes the key
connecting your heart
to the clouds raining down in sheets
to the trees that you see
listen to the silence
as you are released from the vessel
of collected thoughts
you call your identity
listen to the silence
as you let go of everything
outside yourself
empty and still
unfettered and alive...
