The Awakening - Part Iv Poem by Le Griot Electronique

In an instant the mental pain
succumbs and eventually subsides.
Breathing again normalized.

I am now awake.
Yet, I still feel anchored somehow.
I feel... now...
anchored in life's reef of monotony -
spiritual currents pulling, churning,
twisting beneath and within me.

The motion is subtle, yet powerful.

Buoyant above and yet
powerfully resonating along each link of the anchor's chain,
the tied-together pain
amidst the emotional swirling, again, and again.

Connected to the anchor in the reef
In my soul, buried deep beneath.
