Greatness of Realization

I arise from a deep sleep
One trance that kept me away from a life
I awake with sense of realization
One that I have been ignorant to seek
I look up towards the heavenly clouds
Those that I have taken for granted
I close my eyes and the wind blows past my skin
Allowing the air to fill me in and embrace me
I spread my arms and part my fingers
And feel my spirit fly
A smile carves on my face
My heartbeat comes clear
And all my senses awaken

I hear so clearly the birds and bees
The mumbling and rustling of leaves
The silent howling
I taste the air of sweetness
And of bitter and fowl
I smell the grass and flowers
And all in between
I see myself as I see the world
The sun, clouds, the moon and stars

And I feel the suffering and the sorrow
As I feel the joy and laughter

I sense freedom, I sense realization
I sense greatness, I sense my inner soul
I find myself as I awaken from my sleep

This blissful ignorance unworthy then the truth
Ignorance that end with pain and self-hatred
The walls, the vaults built to surround me
Now broken down by Strength and Will
Allowing me to break free
That is the greatness of realization.
