Living In A Trance (Revised) Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Finally achieved a mental state where my brain quietly
focuses on just one document; I prepared this weekend
living in a trance, meditating how I love my little world,
effects of sunshine in trees and turquoise water of the
pool, laughter of my children, my car’s nifty swerving,
an office where colleagues share their warmth
with everyone

The miracle took place - I live for my text, when feeling
ill I read parts of it until well and can dig in researching
terms and quirky sentences; correcting my own work as
an overall perspective brings insight in descriptions of
electric power stations, wearing my new hat when going
for a walk, returning with my focus still intact, nothing
else on earth exists, just this bubble of happiness

Don’t want to wake before the end, first must recheck
everything and give it my best shot, living in a trance
until my mission is fulfilled and I have done my best
