At the end of a long work day

I relax on the sofa

Basking in the artificial glow

Of my luminous TV set

I feel myself drifting off

And the radiant light

Becomes an ever fainter blur

The words fade into background noise

Unintelligible

The room fades and all the action now

Radiates from my own body

I am peering inside, as dreams approach

My breathing becoming predictable,

Stable and relaxed

My breath is like the wind

Blowing steadily through a tropical cave

Warm and breezy.

Suddenly I see a dandelion seed

Float onto the warm breeze

Speeding through the cavern

Whooooosh!

Up and out into the rainforest

The little seed turns into a feather

And is carried higher

Through trees teeming with life

Swept up above them

to the forest canopy

I see the feather, I am the feather

Floating on the breeze

I am the breeze

Blowing through the cave

And up to the roof of the forest

I am also the cave, the forest and trees

I am the feather that floats on the breeze
