Meaning!

Lying in a dark closed room,
Curtains clipped so that they dont move,
Eyes busy searching for a speck of light,
Ears focused on the tick tocking with all its might!
My mind goes restless thinking what to think,
In the intense darkness and silence my heart starts to sink!
Breathing deeply I felt my past being exhaled,
The fear of future disappeared when with darkness I stood aligned!
Hazzled by the growing peace in me,
My mind shrieked out "Are you trying to tame me?"
As I kept breathing and explored the intense darkness,
I was falling in love with and enjoying the depths of silence.
Thoughts.. I let them come and go!
Feelings.. I let them come and go!
As my mind settled and became still
I finally felt light like air up the hill.
I felt my wings getting unfolded
Facing my imaginary sky,to the wind I surrendered!
That moment it arose in me,
Why waste my life searching for a meaning,
Smile, Live & Love every second, that's all I need,
To give my life a beautiful meaning!
