Bilocation

Lapses in mindscape lane don't 
denote being fantastical,
subconscious realm portrayed
by vivid thoughts as Déjà vu.
The body lingers and ages but
the Psyche, new as dew. 

Countless times, 
a reminder of certainty 
that I was seen somewhere 
when in reality, 
staring inquisitively 
into my TV. 
Then I pondered, did 
I unknowingly fall into a trance,
Or did time travel come knocking 
unexpectedly?
and even if it did, again, 
the lapses don't come to light.

Dreams are pathways to 
meditation, that birth
happenings unknown 
to this world. But the body
is a shield to absolute 
exploration of cognisance.
My imaginary circus yawns 
for transportation and 
these scenarios distinctively 
and simultaneously 
visualize without limitations.

Not a pause for impossibility, 
we see levitation happen as a tornado, 
I can only imagine a gust of parading 
doppelganger, I'm just not the witch elevating. 
But my illusioned awareness puts me in diverse places through manifestation and imagery conception.

The human being is an intricate combination of physical, mental, and spiritual aspects. There are moments when we allow ourselves to escape into the realm of imagination, or even float in a state of transcendence. However, our physical body always grounds us back to the tangible world of reality, a cycle that occurs intermittently. Your poem, Tonye, captures this profound essence beautifully.

Man is a complex amalgam of body, mind, and spirit. Sometimes, we skip into a world of imagination. At times we levitate in ether. But our body brings us back to the world of reality. This happens off and on. A profound poem dear Tonye!

It is interesting how we lose awareness of our surroundings as we watch a good show. Love “ But the body is a shield to absolute exploration of cognisance.” Enjoyed the write!

An excellent take on the contest, Tonye.. its a thought-provoking exploration of the human psyche and its capacity for imagination and introspection. It invites readers to ponder the mysteries of consciousness and the fluid nature of reality, prompting contemplation on the nature of existence itself.
