At first, it begins slowly
A sudden collaboration of emotions,
seeping through the soul.
Pouring, pouring,
slow and steady like a river flowing.
Like cooling lava it settles into you,
without your knowledge or understanding.
Slowly, slowly,
you fall within it and it takes you in its grasp.
Holding you like one holds onto a dream, firmly and soundly for as long as it can manage.
You are calm and serene in its arms,
much like with a dear friend.
Like a sun filled meadow,
everything is warm in this place.
Happiness fills you as you begin to comprehend, this feeling is pure.
