I lie alone, adrift
one solitary soul
in an ocean of peace.

The silence surrounds me
like a warm blanket
of priceless serenity.

I nestle deep within it
like a child seeking comfort
in mother's arms.

The security I feel
soothes my troubled mind
expanding rigid boundaries.

I burrow deeper
finaly relaxing
my tenuous hold on sanity.

Cradled in this womb
of peaceful tranquility
I begin to heal.

As a serene sense of calm
pervades my soul
a slow rebirth begins.

I revel in this rare instant
of cherished harmony
to dream undisturbed.

For just a moment
one solitary soul
is at peace with itself.
