SPIRITUAL AWAKENING
One Eye Awake and One Eye Shut
Gentle crossover across the portal
The center of my ground aligned with my heart that day
when in a sleep walk I accidentally boarded a train
The moment it crossed that tunnel,
I screamed I will never be the same again!
I made that remark louder in agony
but the co-passengers would not believe me
Digital nomads refused to lift their eyes
snubbing my words harsher than a swatted fly
Each one of us was traveling in our own dreams
in sync with the motion of our souls instead of the wheels
The woman next to me suddenly felt free
She stretched her legs, pulled out some snacks
Instead of offering it first to her younger son
she munched on them like she’d been hungry for years
Her child walked up to the girl in an adjacent seat
They began talking about mysteries of cosmology
An old man, who was earlier annoyed by every little noise
joined their conversation sharing a warm meal with joy
