SELF PORTRAIT I am a firework in disguise I sparkle and shine, and tall I arise from Ancient Atlantis’ mysterious scenes. I shatter all truth-conceiling screens. I replace the tearful salt of the oceans with spring-water sweetness and healing potions. I am the hope within all fears. I put an end to blood, sweat, and tears. I am a firework in disguise. My allies are the sacred fireflies. This poem constitutes One Bead of my poetry collection with the title “ DANCE OF THE FIREFLIES - A ROsary Of Esoteric Lovesongs” Three more Beads are being published in the book Theatre Of The Mind by Noble House Publishers, United Kingdom. This Print are a limited edition of only 108, NO OPEN EDITION. 108 is the number of spiritual completion. Mantras and prayers are traditionally counted with Malas or Rosaries, consisting of 108 beads each. Since ancient liberating secrets are concealed within Pono's artwork, she wishes her prints to circulate around the globe like Rosaries of Freedom Chant mantras. This artwork is museum grade giclee on canvas, numbered and hand signed by the artist, and included is the artist's story.
