Awakens me from slumbers
Ascending into consciousness
Crisp and cold
The night air
Sounds, sharp and clear
Amplifying presence
Breathing in
Clarity
Breathing out
The fog of attachment
Connected to all
One moment in eternity
Becomes eternity

I have chosen a lyric from the song, Sun in the Night, by Brand-X, from their album Moroccan Roll. The lyric itself is sung in Hindi:
sarva samaacinoti
zaazvata uddhaara
jyotis avisarmin
Sung by Phil Collins, the melody of this lyric sticks with me for days after hearing the song again, and often rises to my mind’s ear spontaneously. I find myself singing it in my mind all the time. However, I dont write (or speak, for that matter) hindi, so chose to work with the english translation.
Everyone is together
Ascending in the heavens
Life is forever
