Awareness

If I was my shadow and the shadow me- it would not care enough to realize that I exist
Sounds that come to me in the nights; the highways against trucks racing against the dark; stray dogs barking against the silent walls; my racing heart against the death harp- I’m unaware enough to pass them by and not say ‘OM!’
Visions that chase me in the screaming lights; the stars that I don’t know if they still exist!!
My awareness!
if it is aware of it? 
My awareness, desires me to be aware of it!!
My awareness!!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
