A poem by Line Gauthier. Cover Art by Johannes-Plenio.


Be it evidence consequence or coincidence
Every night as I succumb to somnolence

Heavenly smoke rings of frankincense
Rise upwards with sweet opulence

Dulcet dreams inevitably commence
Without fanfare hype or pretense

While sweet loving arms of providence
Wrap around me a shroud of benevolence

Under a scented canopy of impermanence
Ablaze with the aura of glowing confidence

Revealing universal secrets of magnificence
I humbly bow in unpretentious reverence

Adrift in solitude so many nights hence
I reminisce of nostalgia in the past tense
