Ghostly Reflections

The illusion falls away
giving into the euphoria

Our presence fades 
in the dust of the vacuum 

A veil of reality masks
reflections, ascending 
to the solar domain

When mind and matter meet as one
reality is formless in cosmic unity
The ghostly reflection of spirit and soul
discards this mechanical device
in the name of balance

    I see that the illustration is a portrait, but I also see a human being caught up in a maelstrom.
    I didn’t expect an abstract poem to hit so close to home. Good work.

    Thanks for the kind words, I’ve only just now seen this comment. The photo was originally the inside of a woodstove as I started a morning fire. It has heaving editing from photoshop and Adobe Lightroom.
