Par-a-dox

Thought experiment.

 

Par-a-dox

: something (such as a situation)

that is made up of two opposite things and that seems impossible

but is actually true or possible.

He said "Why are you always on my mind?"

Her response "Because I need somewhere to sleep."

 

She said "Why are you always on my mind?"

His response "Because I need a reason to exist."

 

~

 

There are two versions of my life.

That exists on two parallels.

Both equally lucid.

Both seemingly impossible.

Because something so amazing,

shouldn't exist.

 

One version -

You dance in my mind daily.

 

The other -

You dance on my perceived reality,

through spatial distance.

 

 

The Paradox:

 

Am I thinking you into existence?

 

or

 

Are you thinking me into existence?

Hi Christian, I Loved This Poem very Much so. My Favorite Line was,"Both Seeemingly Impossibe because Something So Amazing Shouldn't Exist." When Something is So Wonderful,it Truly does Feel Impossible, I Totally Agree with You! Brilliant Concepts, and Amazing Poem!

[Chris Micha]

Michele, I am wonderfully delighted and honored that you have such grand words to say. I am beyond honored that you follow my word. :)

[michele vera]

I have to say a lot of your Writings I am able to Truly Relate To. Your Words are compacted with so much Heart-Felt Emotion. Your Writings always Strike a chord for me. I Think You are Truly Very Gifted!

Impressive experimental piece!
You've kept me on my toes with this one. :)

reminds me of Emily Dickinson's short poem "Of Paradise' existence"-

Of Paradise' existence
All we know
Is the uncertain certainty --
But its vicinity infer,
By its Bisecting
Messenger --

It takes two (to parallel with reality), no matter the messenger. :)
An intricate write... love it!

[Chris Micha]

Wow Quill, I am beyond honored again, ma'am. You certainly have made me feel proud. ;)

[Quill~]

:) Be proud! (I wish I wrote this) ;)

This opens up a world of possibilities and interpretations. It has a mind of its own, in a way. Amazing

[Chris Micha]

Yes, it does and was intended to. I wanted the reader to explore their own thought and question any form of reality. What thought truly is?

I really appreciate you reading and giving me input! :)

[MsJewel]

Quite a thought provoking little gem Christian..
Your creativity shines...

:) Julie

[Chris Micha]

Thank you so much, Julie. Truly means a lot. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

It's probably just me, but I like it when you put your quizzical cap on. Probably just because I am not in a romance frame of mind, but I really like the way you express yourself here.

[Chris Micha]

Well I am truly honored that you would think that. As I was writing it I kinda started freaking myself out about everything. Thank you my friend!

The Paradox:

Am I thinking you into existence?

or

Are you thinking me into existence?


Will remember this. Awesome job :) !!

[Chris Micha]

Awe, thank you, Matilda. I am truly honored ma'am. :)

"Thought experiment."
How true. You leave me rereading this over and over, thinking and thinking and thinking.
He said "Why are you always on my mind?"
Her response "Because I need somewhere to think."

She said "Why are you always on my mind?"
His response "Because I need a reason to exist."
Hmm...The first time, I was confused. The 2nd time, these lines made perfect sense. The 3rd time, nothing made sense. The 4th time, I had a stunning revelation. The 5th time, I forgot it.
You see, Christian, this poem truly is a Par-a-dox.

[Chris Micha]

If it didn't make you think and confuse you, I didn't do a good job haha. It begs the question, "What is reality?" :) I hope you took something away from it, Lisa. Thank you!

[lissalovesyou]

Oh, I did, and I will keep rereading this. It's interesting to see how differently my mind reacts to this each time. Added to favs.

Breathtaking , very existential and philosophical, yet poetic and brilliant . Great work Christian !

[Chris Micha]

Wow Rim, thank you so much for your words! :)

Schrödinger’s living cat may decide whether another Schrödinger cat may exist or not. Quantum Consciousness has the power of Creation. Consciousness says, “Let there be light!” and light comes forth; “Let there be Eve!” and beautiful Eve comes forth. Modern Science has led us to this strange Twilight Zone way of looking at Reality. Enjoy Eve in the light of day.

[Chris Micha]

I always love your philosophical way of thinking. I could learn a lot from you. Thank you! :)

[Aethereal]

You're welcome! Quantum Physics is an empirical philosophy tested through experimentation. As far as they can tell, Consciousness has the power to define Reality. It’s even possible that our Consciousness extends beyond our bodies outside of the fabric of space and time. We have the power.
