The Self Immolating Sun

The Self Immolating Serpent Sun

~

And as the Sun climbs,

above unconscious waters,

it burns away, into Light,

all my ego-defining dramas.

~

A Sea of churning stories,

used to identify my life,

mythologically based, they

inform, motivate and inspire.

~

As the Sun of consciousness

slowly rose above the waves,

I integrated my projections,

"owned my stuff," as they say.

~

At first this bestows a boon,

shows me where I once was blind;

but the Sun burns ever brighter,

erasing memory out of mind.

~

Like alchemy's Ouroboros,

Serpent devours tail and tales;

consciousness consumes itself,

digesting into deeper realms.

~

Self immolation of the Soul

de-ments my human brain;

Sun dawns its endless Day, on

the horizon of my thought-scape.

~

Awareness is of the Sky,

how strange its empty shining;

no reference points to grasp;

quantum Point!... Self defining.
