Memoirs - 2

I kneel a while here
contemplating my felicitous existence.
I kneel a while here
grateful for my entire being.
I kneel a while here
submerged in a pool of deep water.
I kneel a while here
watching bubbles slowing rising.

I kneel a while here
awaiting the burning sensation.
I kneel a while here
feeling my backside heating.
I kneel a while here
seething in the early throes of affliction.
but I kneel a while here
head bowed low in acceptance.

I kneel a while here
hearing my neighbours murmuring.
I kneel a while here
watching them quiver with trepidation.
but I kneel a while here
feeling a sense of calm.
I kneel a while here
knowing there’s a higher purpose.

I kneel a while here
awaiting the end of pain.
I kneel a while here
skin beginning to shimmer with lustre.
I kneel a while here
welcoming the internal change.
I kneel a while here
accepting the undeniable outcome.

I kneel a while here
slowly closing my eyes.
I kneel a while here
giving my selfless self up.
I kneel a while here
amidst the unending silence.
I kneel a while here
content in my being.

- confessions of another hard boiled egg.
