playa anthem
by Michele Schottelkorbwe walk among the open souls
gifts put out in seashell bowls
atonement here, honor there
a thunderdome calls in the air
an orb of function lights the way
precious alliances come to play
inhale from the playa, make a flag
kiss a cheek, share a rag
a man in blue calls your name
this is our home, it's not a game
be one with love, peace and drink
mushrooms grow and make you think
your eyes light up with ecstasy
sleep on a couch that's made for thee
plant a thought, share a smoke
be wild and free, you will not choke
bare your essence, discard your shell
leave your images of pain and hell
we all are one with our calling
don't catch yourself, continue falling
into this blessed city of dreams
filled with bonded, mended seams
remember all you have seen here
until we meet again next year... 09/04/2003 Author's Note: thoughts on my trip to Burning Man
