On a late summer evening
As I witness the demise of day
And the manifestation of night
I sit alone...at home
Nothing feels right
Yet nothing feels wrong

Finally the unthinkable happens
Complete silence.....
No more hatred
And no more violence

Time suddenly seems to have stopped
My life seems to advance slowly
So slow, that it is as if I were dead
Or maybe as if I were high

Nothing no longer appears to be real
I feel like I'm dreaming
Because I don't hear myself screaming
I feel as if I see myself
through the eyes of another

By this time....I no longer fear Darkness
I yearn for it
I crave the peace behind it
The Beauty around it
And the silence so much desired

In this Poetically Romantic state of consciousness
Several things are more clear
It is then when I realize
Being a loner is as bad or depressing

The most beautiful part of all
Is being able to conceive and perceive things
In a way you could only dream of

It is like having a buzz
Without have taken a hit from a joint

Complete silence and concentration
is finally acheived......

An experience beyond reality
Very few things can compare
Words cannot define no illustrate entirely
Warnings and Cautions do not exist

Would you care to try?

Great poem!  Lol, I think you're describing self hypnosis.  However, for me, I can laugh and the not stop laughing, and that's like taking a hit from a joint, hehehe
