Shadows



SHADOWS
COBWEB-LIKE
FILL THE MINDSCAPE

SHAPELESS
UNFIXED IN SIZE
CRISS-CROSS EVENTS
DRAINED OF PEOPLE
PLACES, SIGNIFICANCE
UNKNOWN, NAMELESS, UNFELT

THE BLINDING LIGHT
OF EXPLODING NEURONS
OF MILLIONS OF NERVE-ENDINGS
OBSCURES THE DEFINITION
BETWEEN CONSCIOUSNESS
AND DREAMING
WITH NEEDLE-SHARP
SHAFTS OF LIGHT

CASTING SHADOWS OF DOUBT
SHADOWS OF SHADOWS
OF SHADOWS

I frequently stare at the picture and ruminate: shadows are to the mind what memories are to the heart (i use the mind heart distinction as just a manner of speaking to differentiate between thoughts and feelings). 


Forever dissolving forever forming persistent criss crossing across life times transforming lived experience through constant recreations, aided most ably by that enemy within, the subconscious.  Doubts and dilemmas then plague not just the present, they can even stand the past on its head and vanquish our tenuous hold on reality.
