A Moment of Stillness

There is absolutely no relevance of the title, except that I'm listening to the song right now. And I love it when I actually do have those moments of stillness. When you sit, just absolutely still. And not just physically still. But your mind too. It's like everything momentarily freezes, and time just stops for a while. You can feel your own mind in slow motion. Everything in your mind. Everything is still. Everything is slow. Visions of your mind are like a movie played in slow motion. Slow, so you see every drop of water, slowly cascading down to become a part of that beautiful mass of liquid. every leaf, dancing with the wind. In rhythm with the wind, yet in its own free way, its own free style. Every note of every song pivots around, like a dainty little ballerina at her first recital. Some notes send you off to a soft, gullible white place, some to a red, thundering fire, some to a solemn, black expanse of despair. There are some that send you to a plethora of colours. It is a masquerade. There is red and yellow and crimson and blue and green and violet and orange and purple and scarlet and turqoise and white and pink and neon and they all swirl in spirals of joy, in spirals of ecstacy. They invite you. They tell you to fly with them. To sink underwater with them. To flee, yet to stay, very still, in just that moment, and look at the colours. To just look at them, and let every emotion possibly known to any living being swim through your blood. It rushes through your veins, through your limbs, through your nerves. It electrifies your brain. And all you can do is look. And smile. And lose yourself.
Lose yourself in that moment of stillness.
