Consciousness

It is the consciousness that drives me
Like the sparkle to the blackbird
Always searching…can’t resist
One piece more to build the nest
A glimpse, a glimmer…nothing more
To believe, to hold, or mere folklore

What makes it true for you?

A turn of events
A cosmic blip
A thought unspoken
Delivered unbroken
Coincidence to one
Fate or Will to another
Truth to uncover

What moves your soul to dance?

The ethereal dragonfly with new found wings
Just to live a day or week
By chance
A heavy price to soar
Or more
Like Romeo’s cruel end
Doth Juliet in his arms spend…?
Her waking moments
From her last sleep?

What moves your heart to weep?

A dream unsure
Of its reality,
A child with words
An ancient one speaks,
A sparkle like the one
Found by the blackbird
One piece more
Of consciousness stirred.
