To the Pinkpoetress.

The mind never needs sleep,
Not so the body, for eventually it will weep.
Close your eyes; lay yourself still.
Concentrate on the blackness, let come what will.
Slow your breathing, and do not exist.
Inside the darkness is a relaxing mist.
While you do not exist in the darkness, look around.
To the left and right then up and down.
Clear your mind, and do not think,
Lay in the blackness and feel yourself sink.
The longer you watch, the more you will know,
There is no you and there is nowhere to go.
But continue, to in the blackness see,
The nothingness that is all around thee.
Let not thine eyes open, nor thought be aware,
That there is anything around you, for you are not there.
Just look around and see what you see,
Your mind shall stay awake, but rested you shall be.

About this poem:

I just wrote this rhyme quickly. what I wrote is simply a way to rest the body while the mind is occupied. it isn't sleep, but the longer you concentrate the more the likelihood that your mind will actually dream so to speak. it is actually a proven fact, the more exhausted the body becomes the easier it is to achieve, slowing your breathing actually allows the mind "meditate" while the body sleeps or rests...after 20-30 minutes of this when you snap out of it, you will feel as if you had slept 4-6 hours. just a trick that may or may not work for you. i have used it often.(I hope you do not mind the title)
