One Hit Wonder

by Thomas K. Hunt

Red embers in a bowl
Burst by the light of a torch
Glow brighter
With closed eyes
Breath inhaled
Held-in past its time
Slowly released to a gray fog that visits the night
I opened my eyes
Envisioned me beside myself
Sunk in a chair that doesn't exist
Then focused and came back to real time

I realized it was only I
I'm here by myself
Only in my mind
Smoldering down with the weed

yes, this sounds like a realization attained from a different layer of awareness, what ever the cause of this shift of the awareness from one layer to another.Yes, 'I' isn't one and just an image which differs from peson to person. I am always my image.
