Symphony of the Self
by Mindie Kniss
by Ian Moore
Bubbles in my being form and burst
like soft drink fizz.
Wave like ambrosia pummels my psyche.
Honey bees drink from the eternal
and pollinate my persona.
Sipping on sweet savory soma
the Gods have provided leftovers.
Indulging in the indescribable
dissolving into cosmic dissolution
migrating from Maya
to the All Mighty.
Waltzing in wanderlust
I’m the conductor
for the symphony of the self.
An overture of awareness
bassy blasts from behemoths
rock my internal concert hall.
Observing from my psychedelic podium
Seraphim serenade serenity in D minor.
