Moksha

Brian D. Southern

July 23 
Free verse
Through the grey veil of Maya
A storm filters in
A cacophony of consciousness
Beta waves blurring into
A dissonant din

At the edge of the Atman,
Where Sensation meets Source
The chaos collides, and the waveforms collapse
Instantaneous amalgamation
With an infinite force

In this moment in space
Dualities cease
My selves become one with the One
Unbounded I soar through the Source

Samsara released

    As soon as I saw the title of the poem "Moksha" I was excited to read its contents, as I am familiar with the word. I hope the poem isn't lost to others who might be unfamiliar with Hindu theology and/or concepts such as waveforms [wavefronts] which derive from quantum physics.

    The first stanza, with astonishing eloquence, hooked me. Describing the chaotic fog of pluralism that the mind is caught in (Maya) and continuing on until it is released from that captivity (Samsara) and made one with the One, I felt the poem was an incredible rollercoaster ride to redemption ... and this in a mere 15 lines! That is an extremely talented and gifted (and thoughtful) writer who can do that.

    I look forward to reading more of this poet's works.
