Meditation

Ray less room light hiding waiting to be sought

Blindfolded by darkness seeing nothing but reflections of emptiness

Hypnotized by tranquilizing vibrations of the mystical Oud

Darkness sends its best musician to caress each string

Sitting

Listener erect like the ancient obelisk

Hidden hieroglyphs become the spine deciphered by darkness

Resin of the Boswellia wrapped in papyrus lit and smoked

Filling the room with sweet smell of frankincense

Eyes wide shut

Awareness of body relinquishes

The floor which feet once befriended now absent

Palms which once kissed thighs kiss no more

Breath becomes lazy no longer wants to work

It breathes for darkness

Merging with the void

Now mind breathes
