Savasana by Claudette Russell

  In this moment
  rest in gentle darkness.
  Let it surround and comfort
  like a friend's embrace.

  Breathe in stillness.
  Let it calm and sooth
  as mind and body
  lighten and release.

  Surrender to silence.
  Let its mysteries unfold
  filling empty spaces
  with light and grace.

  In this moment
  when truth and self entwine
  let the heart find peace.
