My Meditation

In, out, in, out
My chest rises and falls with each breath
My eyes remain closed
My hands stay on my knees
No thought passes through my head
No sense of touch or smell
Nothing but silence

I don't know how much time has passed
I don't think about it
I feel and itch on my foot
I don't move to scratch it

I focus on the itch
Deeper and deeper I focus
I have now found the exact place it affects
Yet I don't move

Finally I open my eyes
Everything is clear
My senses feel more attuned
I am at peace
I have found my center
My meditation is complete
