Consciously

Consciously

A Poem by Mike Defreitas

1

Floating neurons - in my head
Dancing towards the potion;

Those neurochemical badboys
Making so much commotion

In my head - rush they rush
Towards their place, the place, their stead.

They sizzle and seize the sides, the temporal lobes
Inside my mind: entranced inside it's eyes
Can hardly see the wish inside

Pffffff, the mind elides, the neurons chug along in stride
Arising - per due - per alas this is how it do
How it evolved to be: I, sufferer, an emergent....property?

Neurons, words, things, I denote with a name
Standing for things, cells, that send information

In the form of electric motion, a mind arises - subjective inside?
Yet conformed, constrained, shaped by the vagaries of time

Feedback loops, energy in, stock, energy out - the stock, traced out in motion
Emerging mind, consciousness, wakes up inside, to life: what happened?

Things gone wrong, wrong, the apparition of time, projecting back from the past
Poking in, as referent, the groups - the neurons - forming you, they ain't coming back

Splish, splash, that's just the way it is. The past and the present, back and forth,
One way forward, the past in the present, the present, projected by me - into future

Anguished, forsaken, by life, by reality, by whom? No one. Nothing is there
I'm here, looking there, at life, wondering, how can I move forward?

Nothing, forward, move forward, integrate, know, accept,and make nothing
Join in; heart forward; with love, with compassion, with peace, with gnosis

Drop into the pool of it, of life, of everything, the watery depths, concealing and concealed
By the love for life, for meaning, for reality, for consciousness, for you, for me,

Sit still and hear the essence - feel it rumbling, stirring, buzzing, stilling
What is it? That center about which turns, the mystery - of my mind - my knowing?

I live out the struggle between opposites; suffered, suffering, yet beholden to the meaning:
Try - Live out the meaning...Discover the knowledge: eat it up, the world, and be it, consciously
