Core

I’ve been floundering, unable to sense

how far I’ve drifted,

how long I’ve wandered.

A dreadful exhaustion silently crushes me.

Too devastated to push it back.

Am I floating or drowning?

 

An inevitable force pulls me deep down to the core.

I resist no more as it grounds my body and soul.

I calm myself and surrender to the undeniable sensation.

A glorious tremble arouses my consciousness.

Awakening.
