Contemplation

A deep breath.
The chill air pierced my lungs,
I shook and felt the earth move from under me.
All was as it should be
But I was in a different realm,
Far from the place of fear.

In contemplation
All was still,
My heart, my mind, my soul.

I reached out and felt the velvety silence,
As an embrace I drew it in.
Soft, electric violet light
Enwrapped.
It held me dear.
