Morning of Mourning

An experience of Thanksgiving Morning

I watched the sunrise

While I stood in my driveway

The colors engulfed me

Surrounding in my mind

Blue, Violet, Purple, Green, and Gold

Each color swirling around me within me

I felt weightless

Slowly being lifted off of the ground

Higher and higher

Until I came to only black empty space

Where no colors are allowed

 

In the empty void I was at peace

At-one-ment with all of creation

In that brief moment

I felt my entire self turn off

Sustained only by Allah’s love

Then without warning

I was turned on

Feeling the heaviness of my body

I came crashing down

Slamming into the pavement like a Roswell U.F.O.

 

I opened my eyes

The sun fully appeared

I was standing in my driveway

(This happened on what some people in the States call Thanks Giving though others refer to it as the Day of Mourning, so hence the name Morning of Mourning)

thank you very much, of course it doesn't seem odd that things are diferent in the U.K. due to the birth and history of the two

Interesting how the colourless void is where peace is found...it plays on the dual theme of the holiday perfectly...well done.
