Unbreakable MindA Poem by N.Sevilla
The seconds ticked by as I was still in the silence.
One knee on the ground, one foot on the ground. Hands raised up, chin raised up. I did not pray, but I did beg. I begged to my mind and to everything and nothing, To clear the fog surrounding my mind. Minutes ticked by and I was still in the silence. I sat, legs crossed, fingers of both hands lightly touching. My eyes, closed. I did not meditate, but I did think. I thought and flooded my mind with thoughts, To break the dam surrounding my mind. Hours ticked by and I was still in the silence. My breath now slowed. Body relaxed, face relaxed, an occasional toss and turn. I did not dream, but I did sleep. I slept and I slept and dug myself deeper, To squeeze through the cracks surrounding my mind. Years ticked by and I was still in the silence. My skin, cold. Breath, gone. My arms over my still chest. I did not "slumber", but I did die. I died and stopped my heart and blood, To release my mind from its own binds. But there was nothing, Even in death, Nothing.
