Reminiscence

being of sound mind and body
I must write of the days when I was slightly stoned
when I would disappear into the beautiful abyss
with headphones 
'Dark Side of the Moon'
or 'I Robot' taking me on journeys
only I could take
my room the isolation tank 
from 'Altered States'
my mind the well that echoed within
the sitar vibrations of an unspoken thought
my dreams the night before realized in a wave
of painted sound
and when the consciousness of awake 
and the boundless landscape of sleep 
fused with the lost chord 
one was as close as one could be to God
on this plane
