My First and Second Mind:

just thinking about it

“Well the first thought that occurs

comes wrapped in original insight-

a source blueprint from on high

as a reflection of the most divine

that filters down to settle around

the consciousness so entwined

with aspects and matters of time   

and space and the personal race.”

 On second thoughts, he began,

“What can I say to make it clear

that which I first desire to be dear

passes through fingers like sand

and that which I value as I ought

escape me like birds that can fly

and resolutions repeatedly sought 

vanish in upward vapors on high.”
