"Sanity in the Stillness"
by Heather K. O'Brien

 
 
Astral Plane, Bar & Grill
 

Stopped in briefly today...
(Wish I had had enough sense to make it brief.)
Passed that sign, “Check your karma at the door.”
You know where I am; the “Astral Plane, Bar & Grill.”
A place where a being can just be,
Before rising to the next realm.
All food and drink is spiritually grown or made.
Funny it’s spiritually consumed too!
Never know who you’re gonna’ see as you “pass through.”
Hey I think I saw Elvis!
Pay attention, never know what you might miss if you blink...
Then again, who needs to blink?
Don’t think about your body or you're on an express
Elevator back down to it again.
I slipped past the bouncer; or is he here learning too?
And sauntered over to the bar,
Ordered an Energy Cone, straight up, boy do they pack a punch!
Now where’s that guide I was told about
I’m supposed to meet him here,
Or don't they hang out in bars?
If I don’t find him maybe I’ll “float” over to the Cosmic Cafe.
So many places to go after the “Astral Plane, Bar & Grill.”
