Forever

How can I be so Mindless?
Lost to the things that I do
From moment to moment

I feel I am sometimes lost in a daze
The reverie of living
So many similar days

It astonishes me, really
I say to myself
"you're so aware"
And yet here I am, doing
Again and yet again
The thing that I once observed in myself,
And said:
"I will not do that"

But then here I am
At this moment
Looking back into who I was
And what I did back then
And think:
"Where was I"?

Mindlessly aware
Yet mindfully bumbling
I seek to know more
But I am
constrained
At all times
By unobserved forces

Which peak: only noticed
When we look back
Stopping reality
Its unconscious progression
And seeing, baring out
For the sake of
a lesson

Can I be?
I can be
Just internalize
the lesson

And match out
Stay tuned
To realities
Progression

Mind and body
Mind and body
Soma and psyche
Working together

Along the flow of time
The boat of the body
Flowing along
Towards
Forever

Cognitive dissonance? Mind and body discord? Well which one is it. It's really hard to do things, if you're not completely into it. There are times that you refuse to do things because you feel that they're not who you are, or what you are. So you drift away...
Someone quoted, I still remember this, "It's fine to go with the flow as long as it takes you forward." I guess it's kinda right... :-)
Your poem makes me think of my old days, when I don't know where to stand, and to go.. It's simply amazing. It's my own opinion.. Did I get right? :-)

Yea it is difficult to join the body and mind (psyche) and then after to keep them afloat, flowing effortlessly... I enjoyed this :)

sometimes that flow gets wayyy out of whack.. that's the problem.. mind and body.. heart and soul.. they have to connect.. flow.. understand.. agree... for that flow to feel flawless.. we live... we learn.. we grow... we still make those dang stupid mistakes even with these "big brains" that know better.. then think... doh! why'd I do that.. ha... we have ALL been there, promise you!... I always love the way your words immerse me into your trail of thought.. taking me on a spiritual and intellectual journey and subtly playing with my emotions.. another well written piece sir! good job:)
