Ode To Incense

Incense burns fiercely permeating us With sweet smells calling us closer to it Stare straight in the flame and be mesmerized Fascinated and placated Meditate and self-medicated, sit Enjoy the soothing atmosphere and wait Light one, two, three, as many as needed A big room we light four; intoxicated Like drinking wine in front of the sunshine We all fill our senses with ambience Surrounded by multi-colored auras Uniting us and strengthening all of us In fundamental bliss and peacefulness We clasp hands and walk into the abyss
