anatomy of a ponder

rushing inference, imminent insight
suddenly its clear, a gut feeling
swooning, reeling,
 cross-connected hemi-sphere
syncopated, reverberated, totally aware

open bi-ways, ahh blue-sky days, making up my mind
synapses shiver, axons quiver, dendrites deliver
'lectrik-neurons fire just in time

aha! aha! oh gawd I see, I ran around 'n cried
a fool I've been, all along its there, right in front of me

with a grin, a nod 'n twinkly-looking 'round
raised my arms 'n slapped my thighs  
'n made a ruckus sound --

donned my hat 'n set it skewed
upon my big bright head
set off to town in an uplifted mood
while whistling a sweet sound
forgot what I had found
for I had no one Dear to tell

How it is too often: to come to an epiphany only to be distracted and scratch your head later in wonder. What exactly was so life changing that you were impressing yourself with not that long ago? Glad to see you back under the name Pema Dorje, ukulele music and brilliant writing included. - Mimi.

I love the optimism, the sing-song delivery of ultimate happiness that comes from the light of wisdom. Your joy is infectious, like the bright rays of the sun.
