___________________Stillness spreads____________________

____________Inside me, almost like a door to satori_____________

_____________Liquid sounds falling into the well_______________

_Ever-present beneath them, silence trickles through gaps in the noise__

______________Never lost as long as mind-born_______________

____Clouds of my thoughts scatter, creating awareness like a disc______

________________Encased in unending space_________________

.

Author's note: Only a few days ago, I returned home after a week spent in a Buddhist retreat centre. I guess it shows?
