Gift
some say life digs its own grave ~
from my pov i’m building mountains (By poet)
More aware than I’m feeling
less abstract than my dreams
Reality’s that one special place
somewhere in the between
Consciousness is about living
Oblivion for erasing all death
What gives us persisting life
brain activity, our next breath
Questioning everything I see
understanding very little at all
The nightmare of intelligence
begs more than it can solve
Writing to vent my frustration
sharing views of the unseen
No one knows beyond doubt
why life needed human beings
I know that God created us
so did the Big Bang as well
there is a place called heaven
alongside our man made hell
But all this explains nothing
other than, try a leap of faith
Just like my words here fail
to express meaning, but wait!
You live, you always have, your
own death’s impossible to taste
We watch others dying each day
in demise, all experience effaced
To be, is the only reality possible
consciousness, you get my drift
Our chance to feel and reason,
death is zilch, life’s the only gift
