Waken   I had been feeling restless for some time,  But today, I awoke in the afternoon  Feeling truly at peace for the first time.   A sense of calm enveloped me,  Along with focus and drive,  As a myriad of emotions surged  within Like a soldier readying for his battle ride. The burden had lifted,  In its place, victory stood firmly!    Next to the kin that surrounded me.   I wondered who is this entity,  That has taken shape, shining,  His Head Held High In perfected pridefulness  As if tailored for a purpose?  Though I felt grounded,  My victorious battle was the pinnacles.  Pearls of Wisdom on this journey!  Direction seemed to emerge,  Greeting me with a handshake.  This profound state,  Altered consciousness.  I questioned, am I home?
