Coalesce and Disperse

My mind is an eddy in a world of noise,
Silent, still, focused without will,
Hovering on the outskirts of the universe,
Where streams of consciousness coalesce and disperse. 
Beyond epistemic wonder, to which we clutch,
Lucidity arises from beyond the veil,
The sliver of reason incarnate,
Between the objective and subjective ego.
And through this void,
Where the ‘self’ has no place,
Certain clarity resides,
An all-encompassing sensation begins to override,
Connected to the boundless depths of space and time.
Filling the chasm where once one did reside,
Now two, drifting celestial bodies gracefully collide,
Complex vessels folding into one, another, 
Negating the improbable, they glide effortlessly into place, 
Complimentary domains: only natural design could embrace.

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.
